Editorial: The Soul of Pakistan is Islam
Nussrah Magazine 1
The Soul of Pakistan is Islam The despicable bombing of a busy park
in Lahore in March, which killed more than 70
people, most of them women and children,
more lethal than the attack in Brussels a few
days earlier, and again a shadowy organization
claimed responsibility. As if all this were not
enough, on the same day that the Lahore
bomber struck, riot police in the capital,
Islamabad, were trying to control a significant
demonstration against Mumtaz Qadri’s
execution.
As Pakistan burns in the fires of chaos,
it is critical to separate colonialist
agendas from our own
requirements. Yes, quite right, we
are in the middle of a battle for the
soul of Pakistan. However, it is
essential to keep what that soul is
clearly in mind, lest we are
seduced into striking at that very
same soul, rendering Pakistan
lifeless. So, let's be clear and say
it loudly and proudly. The soul of
Pakistan is Islam. It is Islam that
motivated the Muslims to lead and give form to
an Indian resistance against the colonialist
British. It is Islam alone that inspired great
sacrifices to establish Pakistan, a state created
in the name of Islam and that too in Ramadhan.
It is Islam that ensures success for any
Pakistani cause, from matters engaging Indian
forces and building nuclear weapons, to
providing earthquake relief and treating cancer
patients. It is Islam that condemns attacks on
civilians, even in the heat of war. It is Islam that
condemns wars of Fitna between Muslims. It is
Islam that demands the protection of non-
Muslims and unreservedly condemns sectarian
violence. It is Islam that condemns blasphemy
and compels the judiciary to hold any ruler to
account over it, stemming the need for any
vigilante action from its root.
And, yes, it is Islam that demands
fighting against hostile enemy forces, whether
in Afghanistan, Kashmir or indeed anywhere
else. This is why Muslims all over the world
during Ramadhan remember with pride the
Battle of Badr, the Opening of Makkah and the
Battles of Hitteen and Ein Jalut. Here, we have
arrived at the critical matter that the regime and
its colonialist benefactors want us to close our
eyes to. But how can we? Fighting against
occupying foreign forces is part of Islam. No
need to say that again, really, for we in Pakistan
know that well. Indeed, what need would there
ever have been for Pakistan to be created in the
first place, if that were not the case? Why else
did the Muslims lead a fierce
resistance against the British
enemy forces and sacrificed in its
cause? Thus, there is a clear
distinction between those that are
striking American occupying
forces in Afghanistan or India's
occupying forces in Kashmir and
the despicable perpetrators of
attacks on women and children.
Blurring that distinction and
lumping them altogether,
crudely and dishonestly, is
something that only suits Washington and its
local front-men within the current Pakistani
regime.
Eyes have opened and more are opening
to what's really going on. Yes, there is a battle
for the soul of Pakistan. The regime and its
foreign backers are bent on striking at that soul.
It falls upon us, each and everyone of us, to
preserve that soul. Such preservation can never
be realized by Democracy, as has been seen
clearly by the actions of the current regime.
Only Islam's own ruling system, the Khilafah,
can preserve and protect Islam as it did
throughout the ages. So let us this Ramadhan
honor the soul of Pakistan, Islam, and move to
restore the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method
of the Prophethood.
As Pakistan burns
in the fires of
chaos, it is critical
to separate
colonialist agendas
from our own
requirements.
Tafseer – Al-Baqarah: 135-138
Nussrah Magazine 2
Tafseer Al-Baqarah: 135-138 Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah:
ا وما إب راهيم ح وقالوا كونوا هودا أو نصارى ت هتدوا قل بل ملة ﴿ نينا وما أنزل إلى كان من المشركين * قولوا آمنا بالله وما أنزل إلي إب راهيم وإسماعيل وإسحاق وي عقوب واألسباط وما أوتي موسى
هم و وعيسى وما أوتي النبيون من ر رق ب ين أحد من نحن له بهم ال ن مسلمون * فإن آمنوا بمثل ما آمنتم به ف قد اهتدوا وإن ت ولوا فإنما هم
غة الله وم ميع العليم * صب يكهم الله وهو الس ن في شقاق فسيكغة ونحن له عابدون ﴾أحسن من الله صب
"They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you
will be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow]
the Millah of Ibrahim, upright, and he was
not of the polytheists." Say, [O believers],
"We have believed in Allah and what has
been revealed to us and what has been
revealed to Ibrahim and Ismaeel and Ishaq
and Yaqub and the Descendants and what
was given to Musa and Esa and what was
given to the prophets from their Lord. We
make no distinction between any of them,
and we are Muslims [in submission] to
Him." So if they believe in the same as you
believe in, then they have been [rightly]
guided; but if they turn away, they are only
in dissension, and Allah will be sufficient
for you against them. And He is the
Hearing, the Knowing. [And say, "Ours is]
the casting by Allah. And who is better
than Allah in casting? And we are
worshippers of Him." [Surah al-Baqarah:
135-138]
Allah (swt) clarifies in these verses the
following:
1. After Allah (swt) repudiated their claim
about Ibrahim and Yaqub - peace be upon them
both - and clarified the invalidity of their saying
that they were Jews or Christians, in the
preceding verses, Allah (swt) then repudiated
their call to their religion, that it is distorted and
invalid and that is what they had been saying.
The Jews said follow our deen for it is the best
and the Christians said follow our deen for it is
the best. So Allah (swt) repudiated this call of
theirs as invalid and He (swt) inspired His
Prophet (saaw) to say to them that instead the
Truth is to follow the Millah of Ibrahim (as)
who left every false and twisted religion from
the invalid religions for the sake of the Deen of
Truth.
In this exposing of the Jews and the
Christians regarding the falsehood of their
religion, is that they are Polytheists who have
distorted their religion فون الكلم عن مواضعهيحر
“They distort words from their [proper]
usages.” [Surah Al-Maaida 5:13]. And
similarly, they also attributed to Allah (swt) a
son, as to what they describe, وقالت اليهود عزير
وقالت النهصارى المسيح ابن للاه ,The Jews say“ ابن للاه
"Ezra is the son of Allah"; and the
Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of
Allah." [Surah At-Tawba 9:30]
Ibn Jarir narrated that Abdullah bin Soria
Al Awaar said to the Prophet (saaw): "There is
no guidance, but for what we are upon and
follow O Muhammad they adopt. And the
Christians say like that Allah revealed" And the
Christians said something similar so Allah
(swt) revealed قل بل ملهة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من
Say, "Rather, [we follow] the“ المشركين
Millah of Ibrahim, inclining toward truth,
and he was not of the polytheists.” Which is
a response to this statement of theirs and a
demonstration of its invalidity. It is also
Dalaalatul Ishaara داللة اإلشارة (Evidence of
Indication) that Ibrahim is neither a Jew nor a
Christian and his Millah is other than their
Millah.
upright/inclined” is inclined away“ ﴾حنيفا﴿
from the false religions to the True Deen, and
Ibrahim - peace be upon him - was named
Tafseer – Al-Baqarah: 135-138
Nussrah Magazine 3
Haneef (upright/inclined) because he inclined
to the True Religion and submitted himself to
Allah (swt).
In origin (The inclined) is inclination or
direction and from its usage is the club foot
where (رجل أحنف) and the clubfooted (رجل حنفاء)
both feet are turned towards each other along
with their toes.
2. Then Allah addresses the believers, that
they believed in Allah and what was revealed
to Ibrahim, Ismaeel, Ishaaq and Yaqub and the
sons and grandsons of Yaqub, and what was
revealed to Musa and Esa (as), and every
Prophet without discriminating amongst them
in Prophethood, thus, we do not believe in
some of them and disbelieve in others, as do the
Jews and Christians, rather we believe in all of
them and we submit to Allah (swt), subservient
and obedient to Him.
So if the Jews and Christians had believed
in such a belief, i.e. in Allah (swt) and all His
Messengers and all that He revealed to His
Messengers, they would be of the guided.
However if they turned away from that and
believed in some of the messengers and
disbelieved in others, and believed in some of
what Allah has revealed and altered and
changed some as they do- they will not harm
you in any way - which is an address to the
Messenger of Allah (saaw) - Allah (swt) will
grant you authority over them and Allah listens
to all that they have to say of calumny against
Him (swt) and He is knowing of what they hide
of harmful machinations against Islam and
Muslims.
Allah (swt) has fulfilled His promise to His
Messenger (saaw) and strengthened him
against his enemies, particularly the Jews, and
that was so in the punishment Bani Qayniqaa'a,
the killing Qurayza, the exile of Bani Nadeer,
the elimination of the Jewish entity of Khyber
and other than them from amongst the enemies
of the Messenger of Allah, may peace and
prayers be upon him.
And what was revealed to“ وما أنزل إلينا
us” أنزل “revealed” is defined by prepositions
نزل إليناأ upon”. Here it is“ (على) to” and“ (إلى)
“revealed to us” and in another Ayah ﴿ وما أنزل
”and what was revealed upon us“ ﴾علينا
[Surah Aali-Imran 3:84] وما أنزل علينا قل آمنها بالله
Say, "We have believed in“ وما أنزل على إبراهيم
Allah and in what was revealed upon us and
what was revealed to Ibrahim" [Surah Aali-
Imran 3: 84]
Descendants” is the plural of“ ﴾األسباط ﴿
the male“ (السبط) male descendant” and“ (سبط)
descendant” is the grandson and what is meant
by that is the sons and their descendants, the
children of Yaqub, and they are grandsons of
Ibrahim and Ishaaq and the progeny of the
grandsons of Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Yaqub. And
therefore it has been said about Hassan and
Hussein - may Allah (swt) be pleased with
them - they are of the Descendants of the
Messenger of Allah (saaw).
So if they believe“ ﴾فإن آمنوا بمثل ما آمنتم به ﴿
in the same as you believe in” (الفاء) “the Faa
letter” is a conjunction i.e. connecting that
which comes after it with that which comes
before it. And (الباء) (the Ba) is prepositional
such as saying the Almighty ﴿ يئات والهذين كسبوا السه
But they who have earned“ ﴾جزاء سيئة بمثلها
[blame for] evil doings - the recompense of
an evil deed is its equivalent” [Surah Yunus
10:27] any the like. And it is meaning ﴿ فإن آمنوا
And if they believed“ ﴾بمثل ما آمنتم به فقد اهتدوا
similar to your Iman they would have been
guided” i.e. if they believed in everything that
you believed of Allah and His messengers and
whatsoever was revealed to the Messengers
rather than believing in some and disbelieving
in some, rather all that you believed.
If they turn away” i.e. if“ ﴾وإن تولهوا﴿
they did not believe everything that you
believed.
Tafseer – Al-Baqarah: 135-138
Nussrah Magazine 4
they are only in“ ﴾فإنهما هم في شقاق ﴿
dissension” i.e. so they are not except in
dispute and enmity they are not of those
requesting the truth in anything.
﴿ And Allah will suffice you“ ﴾فسيكفيكهم للاه
against them.” i.e. He will suffice you against
their opposition and the and the sufficiency is
not in relation to the nobility but also the
actions of the nobility, i.e. He will suffice you
against their hostility by strengthening you
over them. So thus Allah has fulfilled His
promise and eradicated the Jewish entity and
granted victory to His Messenger, and All
Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.
3. Then Allah clarifies that this Iman which
is mentioned in the previous verse is the
transforming color of Allah (swt) that purifies
the believers from the filth of Kufr and its stain,
and that does not color the best of them and it
is the decoration of the believer and his
adornment that drives him to the worship of
Allah alone and limits him to obedience to
Allah Almighty, grateful for His Blessings.
﴿ the casting by Allah,” the“ ﴾صبغة للاه
casting is as the sitter imprints the mold of his
body on the seat (casting his mold) through
weight, and (بغة Sibgha here is used (الص
metaphorically here to the similar relationship
of the evidence upon belief, it cleanses its
possessor of the defilement of Kufr and gives
him a new casting because of the good faith in
the Hereafter washes and cleans the dirt and
colors it, giving it purity and serenity and
beauty because of the coloring.
صبغة ﴿ And who is“ ﴾ومن أحسن من للاه
better than Allah in casting?” a question of
repudiation i.e. there is no casting better than
the casting by Allah.
Continued from Page 7
The essential question is how to restore
Ramadhan to its proper status, a month of
victory over the enemies of Allah and His
Messenger. What is it that prevents the Muslim
armed forces from heeding the cries of the
injured men, the dishonored women and the
orphaned children? How is it that RasulAllah is
defamed and there is no befitting answer, such
that the kuffar are encouraged to repeat their
evil again and again? In answer it is the fact
that the Muslims are no longer ruled by Islam
and led by righteous rulers. Instead they are
ruled by traitors against the Muslims, who
serve their enemies and implement other than
Islam. Today these traitors receive the officials
of the enemies and take orders from them rather
than sending a message of defiance through
them such that they shake in their thrones. The
response of the traitors to the cries for help
from the Muslims of Syria, Palestine, Iraq,
Kashmir and Afghanistan is to firmly lock the
armed forces in their barracks, awaiting
instructions from the kuffar masters so as to
send them to assist kufr and its people all over
the world! The duty upon those who are sincere
in the armed forces is to grant the Nussrah for
the immediate re-establishment of the
Khilafah. Only then will the armed forces of
Muslims will set forth as they are meant to,
spreading the pure Risaalah of Islam
throughout the earth. Allah (swt) said: إنها لننصر
نيا ويوم يقوم األشهاد رسلنا والهذين آمنوا في الحياة الد
“Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our
Messengers and those who believe, in this
world’s life and on the Day when the
witnesses will stand forth (Day of
Judgment)” [Surah Ghafir 40: 51].
Musab Umair: Seeking Nasr (Victory) in Ramadhan Demands Nussrah
Nussrah Magazine 5
Seeking Nasr (Victory) in Ramadhan
Demands Nussrah from the Muslim Armed
Forces for the Return of the Khilafah Musab Umair
Allah (swt), Al-Qawwi. Al-Aziz said in
His revealed Book, the Noble Quran, وما النهصر
ا لعزيز الحكيم إاله من عند للاه “And there is no
victory except from Allah the Almighty, the
All-Wise.” [Surah Aali-Imran 3:126] And He
(swt) said in the Book in which there is no
doubt within it, فال غالب لكم وإن يخذلكم إن ينصركم للاه
فليتوكهل المؤمنون ن بعده وعلى للاه فمن ذا الهذى ينصركم م
“If Allah helps you, none can overcome you;
and if He forsakes you, who is there after
Him that can help you And in Allah (Alone)
let believers put their trust.” [Surah Aali-
Imran 3:160]. These ayaat confirm to the
believing heart, whose eyes fill with tears upon
reading the words of Allah (swt), that the
greatest weapon the Ummah possesses is the
promise of Allah (swt), An-Naasir, of victory,
Nasr. Yes, indeed, the Muslim armed forces
prepared of material power, as commanded by
their Lord, preparing it to the extent that their
superiority in weaponry struck fear in the
hearts of the weapons, whether it were missiles,
torpedoes or naval forces, yet they approached
Allah for the victory through Dua. Yes, the
armed forces’ leadership prepared the creative
and thorough plans of war, down to the last
man in the army and the last hillock upon the
terrain, yet they looked to Allah (swt) for
providing success in the plans. Yes, indeed, the
Muslim officers had the backing of Islam
implemented as a state and a rule, to unify the
Ummah under the Khilafah, yet again they
depended Allah (swt for ensuring the victory.
Thus, the Muslim armed forces were
found to fight in the cause of Allah (swt) by day
and invoke Allah (swt) to provide the victory,
standing in prayer by night, drawing closer to
Him (swt) so that He (swt) became the eyes,
ears and limbs of the believers. This Iman,
dependence on Allah for victory multiplied the
power of the military assets the armed forces
possessed, propelling them to achieve
practically that which the kuffar could not even
dare to conceive, let alone propose. Thus the
kuffar enemy forces began to conceive that the
armed forces were other than humans, of the
Jinn and possessing blood that is blue, not red.
And the generals of the kuffar for centuries
marveled at the skills of the Muslims, such that
General Rommel of Germany’s armed forces
declared that the secret of his success on the
battlefield were the strategies of Khalid bin
Walid رضي هللا عنه .
So what of the seeking of victory during
Ramadhan today by our armed forces?
Ramadhan the month granted abundant
blessings to draw closer to Allah (swt). The
blessed Ramadhan with its closure of the gates
of Hell, chaining of the Shayateen, opening of
the gates of Jannah, its fasting, its Tarawih and
its night of worship, a night of power, which is
better than a thousand months of worship! Thus
it was during Ramadhan, that this Ummah has
seen its greatest victories. It was during
Ramadhan that the armed forces greatest
weapon, Iman in Allah, was ground to its
sharpest and shined to its brightest. And of all
times of this Ummah, understanding this matter
is of great importance this Ramadhan 1437 AH.
For today, the armed forces of the Ummah
number over six million personnel, many times
that of its foremost enemies. As for weaponry
our armed forces possess tanks, planes and
ships and even nuclear capability. Yet, the
Ummah is besieged by its enemies, whether in
Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan or Kashmir by
despised enemies, who spare not the elderly,
the children, the women, the cattle or the crops.
It is at this time that the Ummah, whether from
Musab Umair: Seeking Nasr (Victory) in Ramadhan Demands Nussrah
Nussrah Magazine 6
the armed forces or outside of them, must
consider Ramadhan and victory for the
Muslims.
What of 17 Ramadhan, 2 AH and the
battle of Badr? Consider the first and foremost
commander of the Muslim armed forces,
RasulAllah (saaw), the Chief of the Prophets
Allah (swt) granted the Muslim .عليهم السالم
armed forces a resounding victory over the
forces of the leading tribe amongst the Arabs,
the Qur’aysh, at the battle of Badr. Remember
our brave forefathers standing in the battle field
number, more poorly equipped than the enemy,
such that they had to share shields, greatly
outnumbered by the enemy such that it was
three-fold larger, fighting as a single force in
their first major battle against a fighting force
that had generations of experience. Remember
the mercy to all humankind, RasulAllah
(saaw), as he prepared the battle lines to the
finest of details and then prayed to Allah (swt)
as if he possessed nothing, asking for His
victory. So what a befitting example for Allah
(swt) to confirm for all time the fact that He
alone holds the victory as He declared in His
Book, a guidance for the believers for all time,
لعلهكم تشكرون ولقد ببدر وأنتم أذلهة فاتهقوا للاه نصركم للاه
“And Allah already helped you in Badr
when you were a weak little force. So fear
Allah and be grateful to him.” [Surah Aali-
Imran 3:123].
As for 20 Ramadhan, 8 AH, it saw the
Opening of Makkah. At a time when
RasulAllah (saaw) made practical efforts to
expand the call for Islam well outside the
Arabian Peninsula Allah granted the Muslims a
victory over their chief obstacle from within
the Arabian Peninsula, the Quraysh rule of
Makkah. The Opening of Makkah ended the
Quraysh dominance over others and paved the
way for the rapid expansion of the Islamic State
throughout the lands. RasulAllah (saaw) went
for battle with a force of ten thousand, noble
Muslims marching in state of fasting until they
reached Al-Qadeed on the way to Makkah. Abu
Sufyan, leading the kuffar, was made to bear
witness to the numerous tribes in the
formidable and battle hardened forces that were
unified by Islam under a single state,
demoralizing him to the extent that he was
convinced of defeat. And consider how the
forces of the Muslims adheres to precise
missions, invoking the help of Allah (swt) and
sweeping asides the enemy forces in a single
day. It was a manifest victory which paved the
way for the opening of lands far beyond the
Arabian Peninsula, after consolidating
Tawheed firmly within it. After the Opening of
Makkah, Allah (swt) said, والف -تح إذا جاء نصر للاه
أفواجا When the“ ورأيت النهاس يدخلون في دين للاه
Help and Victory of Allah comes. And you
see the people enter in droves into Islam.” [Surah An-Nasr 110:1-2]
And even after the return of the beloved
RasulAllah (saaw) to Allah (swt) the Ummah
continued to spread the light of Islam over the
armed forces. They were fully aware of their
responsibility towards the Risaalah of Islam for
RasulAllah was not sent with a Risaalah for a
time and a particular people but for all of
humankind and for all time. Thus the Muslim
armed forces benefitted of the bounties of
Ramadhan to seek victory after victory over the
enemies throughout the ages. Even after the
return of RasulAllah and the best generation of
Muslims, his generation, the Muslims for
centuries sought victory at the hands of Allah
during the blessed month and throughout the
era of Islamic rule, Ramadhan heralded
victories for the Muslims.
Indeed, the Opening of Andalusia took
place from 28th Ramadhan 92 Hijri. Spurred
The Khalifah of Al–Walid’s Musa ibn Nusayr
sent Tariq bin Ziyad to open Spain; an army of
around 7000 men was led by Tariq who crossed
the straits and took possession of the fortress on
the Rock that came to be known as Jabal al
Tariq or Gibraltar. Then he advanced into
Algeciras in Southern Spain. Then Musa
himself personally participated in the opening
of Spain, landing with a large force at Tarifa
and heading for Seville, capturing it as well as
Carmona.

The momentous victory over the
Crusaders, the battle of Hitteen also took place
in the month of Ramadhan, in the year 584 AH
(1187 CE). In 1187 the Christian King of
Karak, who was called Arnat, attacked an
innocent group of pilgrims travelling to make
the Hajj. The attackers, showing no mercy,
plundered, tortured the men and dishonoured
the women. Whilst killing the pilgrims Arnat
said: “Go tell Muhammad and ask him if he can
save you.” When the news of this event reached
Salahuddin, despite his anger, he sent a polite
message to King Arnat. In the letter he asked
him to respect the peace agreement, to free all
the prisoners and to return whatever he had
stolen. The King however refused Salahuddin's
request. The Christians amassed a strength of
50,000 fighters to do battle at Hitteen. The
Christians led by the Kings of Jerusalem, Karak
and Tripoli were defeated comprehensively.
Many of their princes and knights were taken
as prisoners. It was Allah’s (swt) will that
Salahuddin should meet face to face with King
Arnat of Karak, the butcher of innocent
pilgrims. Before killing him with his own
hands Salahuddin told him he was killing him
for defaming the honour and dignity of the
Prophet (saaw) and for the murder of innocent
Muslims.
And the Battle of Ain Jaloot in
Ramadhan 658 Hijri (1260 CE) against the
Tartar invasion was yet another great victory
for the Muslims. Towards the end of 656 Hijri
the Tartars launched one of their largest
assaults on the land of the Islamic Khilafah,
resulting in the seizure of the Khilafah capital,
Baghdad, the killing of the Khalifah Al-
Musta’sim Billah, and the occupation of three
quarters of Islamic land. Heading towards
Egypt and Morocco, the last stronghold of the
Muslims, the Tartars sent a threatening letter to
the Ameer of Egypt, Mahmoud Saifudeen
Qutuz, which included the following statement,
"We have demolished the land, orphaned the
children, tortured the people and slain them,
made their honoured despised and their leader
a captive. Do you think that you can escape
from us? After a while you will know what's
coming to you..." Qutuz replied in a befitting
manner. He killed the Tartar delegation and left
their corpses hanging in his capital, lifting his
soldiers and people's spirit on the one hand, and
putting down his enemy's and that of their spies
and loyalists on the other. This raised the spirit
of the Muslims and simultaneously shocked the
Tartars for they realised they were facing a
leader unlike those they had previously
encountered. Qutuz rallied the Muslims to
prepare for the inevitable battle that would
occur. Under his leadership, Muslims were
rallied upon Iman, unity and the necessary
weapons of steel to confront the enemy. He
sought the help of rulers and ulema alike to
unify, stand for the defense of Islam and focus
the efforts of the Muslims towards the
liberation of the Islamic lands. Then it was time
to engage the enemy on the battlefield at Ain
Jaloot on Friday 25th Ramadhan 658. Qutuz
led the Muslims into the battle, which initially
swayed towards the Tartars. Observing this,
Qutuz climbed on a rock, throwing his helmet
away, shouting "Wa Islamah. Wa Islamah”,
urging the army to keep firm and fight Allah
(swt)'s enemies. Inspired by Qutuz’s flushed
face, striking vigorously with his sword and
engaging the enemy the Muslim army shifted
the battle in its favour of the Muslims, until the
Tartar army was shattered and fled from the
battle. Victory was for Islam and the Muslims.
As for the Tartars, when they realized their
incursion and dominance in the Islamic East
was fading and that Muslims regained their
power, they escaped towards their homeland,
which eased Qutuz's efforts to liberate all of
Shaam (modern day Syria, Palestine, Lebanon,
etc.) within weeks.

Musab Umair: A Severe Torment Will Overtake the Criminals
Nussrah Magazine 8
وعذاب شديد بما ﴿سيصيب الهذين أجرموا صغار عند للاه
كانوا يمكرون﴾
“Humiliation and disgrace from Allah and
a severe torment will overtake the
criminals for that which they used to plot.”
[Surah Al-Anaam 6:124] Musab Umair
Today, the rejection of Democracy by
the Muslims of Syria is an encouraging sign of
the liberation of the Ummah from colonialism.
It is such a clear indicator that the Ummah's
glorious return as a world power is imminent,
it has clearly unsettled the Western capitals.
They are frantically and
repeatedly making appeals for
compromises, appeals that are
unheeded. Such a defiant stance is
even more remarkable when it is
considered that the Western
powers, directly in the case of
Russia, and through proxies in the
case of America, have previously
used all manner of force,
bombings, threats and siege to
coerce the Muslims of Syria into
abandoning the Islamic project.
Despite that, the determined,
patient and, evidently, politically
aware Muslims of Syria have not bent or
wavered in their resolve.
However, rather than rejoicing at the firm
and principled stance of the Muslims of Syria,
the current rulers of Muslims plot against the
Ummah at this most critical hour in her recent
history. Worse still, it can be said that the
current rulers of Muslims have reached
extremes in plotting against the Ummah. So
even though America has failed miserably to
manufacture an alternative to its agent in Syria,
Bashar al-Assad, these rulers have rushed to
her aid. They are working day and night to
secure the survival of the Syrian tyrant against
the blessed revolution, whose motto is األمة تريد
The Ummah wants" خالفة من جديد
the Khilafah again."
Furthermore, these
criminals appeased American
demands by holding joint
military operations in Saudi
Arabia between 9 and 12 March
2016 to transform the
formidable armed forces of the
Muslims into a mercenary force
to serve Western objectives in
Syria and elsewhere. Since then,
the current rulers are scurrying
back and forth between their
capitals, bolstering and encouraging each other
in their dark deeds. At one time General Raheel
and the Prime Minister set off to Saudi Arabia,
whilst at another they welcomed the
treacherous ruler of Iran, who has unleashed
Iran's party in Lebanon against the Muslims of
Syria. Thus, rather than making way for the
sweeping Islamic revival to follow its natural

course, the regimes have increased their
ferocity against Islam and Muslims calling to
Islam. They have unleashed their intelligence
and security agencies, with orders to use severe
torture and abductions as tactics to suppress the
voices for Islam. As if this were all not enough,
they have become bolder and more arrogant in
their call to misguidance, proclaiming openly
their desire for the dominance of liberalism,
secularism, Democracy and the corrupted
Western values and standards.
Such a ferocious assault and daunting
situation would induce hopelessness and
despair within the Muslims were it not for the
fact that it is the promise of Allah (swt) that
oppressors will be seized at the height of their
tyranny. This promise is at once a source of
inspiration and hope for the sincere callers to
Islam and the sternest of warnings to strike fear
in the hearts of the oppressor, as well as their
henchmen and cohorts who are their limbs,
eyes and ears.
Indeed, the Dawah carrier is assured when
he reads the words of Allah (swt) said, وكذلك
ر مجرميها ليمكروا فيها وما يمكرون جعلنا في كل قرية أكـب
وإذا جآءتهم ءاية قالوا لن نؤمن -إاله بأنفسهم وما يشعرون
أعلم حيث يجعل رسالته للاه حتهى نؤتى مثل مآ أوتى رسل للاه
وعذاب شديد بما كانوا سيصيب الهذ ين أجرموا صغار عند للاه
And thus We have set up in every“ يمكرون
town great ones of its wicked people to plot
therein. But they plot not except against
themselves, and they perceive (it) not - And
when there comes to them a sign they say:
"We shall not believe until we receive the
like of that which the Messengers of Allah
received." Allah knows best with whom to
entrust His Message. Humiliation and
disgrace from Allah and a severe torment
will overtake the criminals for that which
they used to plot.” [Surah Al-Anaam 6:123-
124]. Ibn Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas
explained the Ayah أكـبر مجرميها ليمكروا فيها
“great ones of its wicked people to plot
therein” [Surah Al-Anaam 6:123] by saying
that "We give the leadership to these wicked
ones and they commit evil in it. When they do
this, We destroy them with Our torment."
Mujahid and Qatadah said that in the Ayah,
great ones” refers to leaders. As“ أكـبر مجرميها
for `Plot' in the same Ayah it refers to
beautified speech and various actions with
which the evil ones call to misguidance, as we
see the rulers of today doing so vigorously.
Thus, Allah (swt) assured RasulAllah
(saaw) at the time of ferocious assault by the
criminal leaders of the Quraysh, that just as
there were brutal chiefs and leaders who call to
disbelief, hindering the believers from the path
of Allah, and opposing and defying the Deen of
Truth in the very land of RasulAllah (saaw), a
similar situation confronted the Messengers
before RasulAllah (saaw). They too were tested
but the good outcome was always for the
believers, as it came to be so in the case of
RasulAllah (saaw). As but one example of
persecution, Abu Jahl incited others of the
Quraish to place the guts of the camel on the
back of RasulAllah (saaw), between his
shoulder blades whilst prostrated, and as a
response RasulAllah (saaw) invoked their
destruction, including Abu Jahl, Utbah bin
Rabiah, Al-Walid bin Utbah, Umaiyah bin
Khalaf and Uqbah bin Abi Mu'it. And as Allah
(swt) promised, a victorious day came when
their bloodied corpses were counted by
RasulAllah (saaw) in the Qalib (one of the
wells) of Badr! This is a lesson for the loyal
Muslims today striving for the return of the
Khilafah within their lands, Muslim Lands,
upholding the truth, undaunted by the criminals
and their thugs, fearing none but Allah (swt).
Indeed, it is not too long inshaaAllah until a
time arises when these criminals will be tried
for their heinous crimes and executed, in days
of rejoicing for the Muslims.
Musab Umair: A Severe Torment Will Overtake the Criminals
Nussrah Magazine 10
As for the henchmen and cohorts of the
criminal rulers, their eyes, ears and limbs, there
will be a time when they will themselves turn
away from the rulers, accusing and cursing,
despairing of the awful fate that they
condemned themselves to. This is why it is no
surprise that the Dawah Carrier does not
succumb to their threats and
coercion, for he is strengthened
by the knowledge of their
impending downfall. Today,
when severely accounted by the
Dawah Carrier during bouts of
oppression and torture, these
thugs offer a library of excuses
and compulsions to justify their
despicable acts. However, soon,
not one excuse or compulsion
will be accepted from them when
thugs will suffer the severe
consequences for their black
deeds, just recompense for
willingly submitting to the rulers' orders to defy
Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw).
Moreover, such severe consequences will visit
them twice. Firstly, when the Ummah restores
the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the
Prophethood and seizes the rulers and their
helpers before the courts of the Khaleefah
Rashid. And then again, in the severest of all
forms, as punishment by Allah (swt) after the
Day of Judgment. It is upon them now, before
it is too late, to seriously consider for their own
sake, the words of Allah (swt) when He said,
لمون موقوفون عند ربهم يرجع بعضهم إلى ولو ترى إذ الظـه
بعض القول يقول الهذين استضعفوا للهذين استكبروا لوال أنتم
للهذين استضعفوا أنحن قال الهذين استكبروا -لكنها مؤمنين
جرمين وقال الهذين صددنـكم عن الهدى بعد إذ جآءكم بل كنتم م
استضعفوا للهذين استكبروا بل مكر الهيل والنههار إذ تأمروننآ
ونجع But if only you could“ ل له أندادا أن نهكفر بالله
see when the wrongdoers will be made to
stand before their Lord, how they will cast
the (blaming) word one to another! Those
who were deemed weak will say to those who
were arrogant: "Had it not been for you, we
should certainly have been believers.'' And
those who were arrogant will say to those
who were deemed weak: "Did we keep you
back from guidance after it had come to you
Nay, but you were criminals." Those who
were deemed weak will say to
those who were arrogant:
"Nay, but it was your plotting
by night and day, when you
ordered us to disbelieve in
Allah and set up rivals for
Him!” [Surah Saba 34:31-33].
Accordingly, let the
Muslims cast asides any
lingering feelings of fear and
intimidation by the current rulers
and their henchmen. Let them
march undaunted to secure the
return of Islam as a power and a
state, assured that the tyrants are
sealing their own fate by their oppression. As
for the thugs who stand in the way of the
Ummah's rise and upon whom the oppressors
depend, let them consider the side they are
choosing carefully again. It is still not too late,
for matters are decided by their final
conclusion and not upon how they have been
conducted so far. Let them repent sincerely,
join the side of the Ummah and extend to the
Dawah Carriers all the support they can, thus
abandoning the oppressive rulers to face their
inevitable doom alone.
Accordingly, let
the Muslims cast
asides any
lingering feelings
of fear and
intimidation by the
current rulers and
their henchmen.

Reaction over Mumtaz Qadri Hanging
Shows How Much Muslims of Pakistan
Love Islam and Hate Their Rulers Shahzad Shaikh
News:
On 29th February 2016, Raheel-Nawaz
regime hanged Mumtaz Qadri in Adyala Jail
Rawalpindi. Mumtaz Qadri, an Elite Force
commando convicted of killing former Punjab
governor Salman Taseer. Qadri had stated in
court that Taseer’s statements in support of
Asia Bibi, a Christian woman charged with
blasphemy, and calling the blasphemy law a
"black law" had provoked him to kill the
governor. As soon the news of his
hanging spread, people
throughout Pakistan came on
streets in protest. The Minister for
Information and Broadcasting,
Pervaiz Rashid, on Monday 29th
February 2016 said the decision
against Mumtaz Qadri was given
by the court and the protests over
his execution are beyond
comprehension.
Comment:
The reaction over the
Mumtaz Qadri hanging has once
again proved that the Muslims of
Pakistan deeply love Islam and strongly hate
their rulers. The Raheel-Nawaz regime did not
announce the date of the Mumtaz Qadri
hanging, as they knew that Muslims will not
allow his hanging. After his hanging, the
regime sent stern orders to media houses that
they must not prominently broadcast the news
neither of his hanging nor of his funeral
proceedings. However, these actions did not
succeed in deterring people in Pakistan, nor
Pakistanis outside of Pakistan, from attending
his funeral. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims
attended Mumtaz Qadri funeral in Rawalpindi,
the garrison city.
Soon after Qadri’s burial, the Muslims of
Pakistan started to show their hatred for their
rulers. The Federal Minister for Information
and Broadcasting, Senator Pervaiz Rashid,
became a "member" of the infamous "Shoe
Club." He achieved "membership" at Karachi
Airport on Monday night 29th February 2016,
when he was there to fly for Islamabad.
A group people saw him, started shouting “Go
Nawaz Go” and suddenly an angry man hit him
with his shoe. Later some of
them barred their companions
from not hitting him with their
shoes, proclaiming that their
shoes were more worthy than the
federal minister. Similarly when
the Prime Minister, Nawaz
Sharif, and General Raheel
Sharif visited Masjid Nabwi on
12th March 2016, they faced the
wrath of the Ummah as people
were chanting slogans in favor
of Mumtaz Qadri.
The strong and deeply
rooted love shown by the
Muslims of Pakistan has stunned
the secular ruling elite, for they are trying to
change the desire of the Muslims of Pakistan
from Islam to liberalism, under the banner of
National Action Plan. This is so apparent that a
liberal columnist in the country’s leading
English-language secular newspaper admitted
that there can never be success in trying to
make the Muslims of Pakistan accept
secularism. Notably, not a single secular party
supported the government action, to avoid
angry reaction from the people, instead opting
to remain silent.

Nussrah Magazine 12
The Muslims of Pakistan on more than one
occasion have shown that they love Islam and
want to live under the system of Islam. It is also
very clear that no matter how much the traitors
in the political and military leadership strive to
please their master, America, in trying to
silence the voice of Islam, they will never
succeed. It is just a matter of time that the
people of power give Nussrah for the
establishment of Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the
method of the Prophethood, as they have seen
the strong desire for Islam in Muslims and hate
for their rulers themselves. The only thing we
as Muslims must continue to do is to follow the
Islamic methodology to establish Islamic state.
We must expose the treachery of the traitors,
failure of capitalism and democracy, present
Islam and its Khilafah as a way of life and
demand for Nussrah from the sincere officers
of Pakistan's armed forces. And soon Allah
(swt) will send victory as He (swt) did fourteen
hundred years ago when Muslims established
first Islamic state in Madina. And that day is
not very far and to see it requires only patience.

“When the Messengers gave up hope and
thought that they were denied (by their
people), then came to them Our Help”
[Yusuf: 110]
Continued from Page 16
Pakistan's weakness is only its leadership
who refrain from fighting the cowardly Hindus,
who were present in their hundreds of
thousands in the Kashmir Valley, but were
unable to dispose of a few thousand, poorly
armed mujahideen. Pakistan has a strong and
effective military machine; it has nuclear
weapons, and has been blessed with vast
natural resources in terms of fertile agricultural
land, coal and gas; it also has a large and
resourceful population. But the most valuable
asset possessed by the Muslims of Pakistan is
the Islamic Aqeedah, which in the past has
demolished superpowers like the Romans and
Persians. Allah says: يا أيها الذين ءامنوا إن تنصروا ﴿
﴾اللـه ينصركم ويثبت أقدامكم “O you who believe! If
you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help
you and consolidate your foothold.” [Surah
Muhammad 47:7]
The problem of Kashmir is only one
consequence of the problems that have plagued
the Ummah since the end of Islamic rule, at the
hands of the Western imperialist Kuffar. They
replaced Islamic rule in all our lands with
systems modelled on Western concepts -
systems that created generations of leaders with
loyalties to Western ideas and Western
interests. So it should not be surprising that all
the present leaders have sided with the
American plan against the interests of the
Ummah. Muslims must look beyond simply
replacing one Westernised leader with another
Westernised leader. What is needed is a return
to the Islamic system by re-establishing
Khilafah (caliphate) upon the methodology of
the Prophethood, which will create generations
of leaders whose sincerity lies only with Islam
and the Muslim Ummah.
Khalid Salahudin: Raheel Sharif’s Kashmir Policy
Nussrah Magazine 13
Raheel Sharif’s Kashmir Policy
Khalid Salahudin
The Director-General Inter-Services
Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant-General
Asim Bajwa, quashed all rumors regarding an
extension in General Raheel Sharif's tenure as
Chief of Army Staff, with his tweet of 25
January 2016, stating: “speculations about
extension in service of COAS are baseless.
(The) COAS said; "Pakistan army is a great
institution. I don't believe in extension and will
retire on the due date. Efforts to route out
terrorism will continue with full vigor and
resolve.”
As usual, there is blind irrational praise
from some quarters for his supposed sincerity
in not seeking an extension, especially when
his predecessors sought extensions. Raheel
Sharif’s intentions for not seeking an extension
will become apparent over the next few
months, yet what is quite clear is that the legacy
he leaves behind is more damning than his
predecessors. It has been discussed in the past
how the Musharraf period was about reversing
the Afghanistan policy, whilst the Kiyani
period was about shifting the India centric
focus of the army to internal terrorism. The
Raheel Sharif period has been characterized by:
1. The PTI/Minhaj-ul-Quran protests that
were designed to pressurize the Nawaz
Sharif government into seceding foreign
policy to Raheel Sharif – an effective
coup without a coup.
2. The despicable Peshawar Army Public
School massacre that laid the basis of
the end of the good Taliban/ bad Taliban
policy.
3. The National Action Plan that was used
as a cover for the shameless arrest,
torture and imprisonment of sincere
carriers of Islam.
The opportunity to become independent of
US control was so great, and yet so easily
bypassed that it only leads to the conclusion
that Raheel Sharif is a committed agent of the
West and specifically the US.
The US draw down in Afghanistan has
been on the cards since 2011, when President
Obama first mentioned the troop draw down
plan. The US, being unable to find a political
solution to the Afghanistan quagmire due to the
sincere mujahideen of the Afghan Taliban, had
begun looking for alternative solutions. The US
had already lured China through mining
contracts.
In November 2007, the China
Metallurgical Group Corp., a state-owned
conglomerate, signed a $3 billion contract with
the Afghan Ministry of Mines and Petroleum to
mine copper from a barren, mountainous
region southeast of Kabul. The mine sits atop
the ruins of an ancient Buddhist city in Logar
Province. The area is also a Taliban stronghold,
but despite this, it would make the Chinese
from promising what would be the largest
foreign investment in Afghan history. After a
war that has cost the lives of more than 2,200
Americans and over l7,000 Afghans, not to
mention a bill of upward of $642 billion for
support of the Afghan government, the US was
prepared to sacrifice this for a greater
commitment in the security field.
But in parallel, the US had been
disappointed at the lack of Chinese
commitment to the Afghan imbroglio from a
security perspective. S. Frederick Starr,
Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus
Institute, put it bluntly, “We do the heavy
lifting, and [China] picks the fruit.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/l2/30/world/asi
a/30mine.html In an article published on 6th
October 2009 entitled “Beijing’s Afghan
Gamble” in The New York Times, Robert
Khalid Salahudin: Raheel Sharif’s Kashmir Policy
Nussrah Magazine 14
Kaplan stated: “The problem is that while
America is sacrificing its blood and treasure,
the Chinese will reap the benefits.…”
In the same article, Robert Kaplan stated,
“But what if America decides to leave, or to
drastically reduce its footprint to a
Counterterrorism strategy focused mainly on
the Afghanistan-Pakistan border? Then another
scenario might play out. Kandahar and other
areas will most likely fall to the Taliban,
creating a truly lawless realm that wrecks
China’s plans for an energy and commodities
passageway through South Asia. It would also,
of course, be a momentous moral victory
achieved by radical Muslims who, having first
defeated the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, will
then have triumphed over another
superpower.”http://www.nytimes.com/2009/l0
/07/opinion/07kaplan.html
The notion was very simple. Let the
Chinese contemplate the consequence of a
radical and uncontrollable Taliban in
Afghanistan, without the security umbrella of
the US. The idea to draw the Chinese into a
more involved role is predicated on the
potential ingress of insecurity and instability
into Chinese territory, Xinjiang being the
obvious location.
Xinjiang is a region on the westernmost
edge of northern China. It is home to a Muslims
called Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking people who
have long suffered under Chinese rule and have
protested the steady influx of ethnic Chinese
into the region. Aside from religious
differences causing strife, China fights for
Xinjiang because it has China's largest oil and
gas reserves. In addition to that, it borders the
Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan, and
hence is a possible route for Islamic influence.
Whilst tensions have always existed in
Xinjiang for years, things escalated around
2008, with large-scale ethnic rioting in the
regional capital, Urumqi. Some 200 people
were killed in the unrest, most of them Han
Chinese, according to officials. About the same
time, a group called the Turkistan Islamic Party
(TIP) hit the airwaves making threats to the
Olympic Games that were due to be held in
Beijing later that year. Security was increased
and many Uighurs detained as suspects. But
violence rumbled on as right wing groups
increasingly pointed to tight control by Beijing.
On 30 July 2011, two knife-wielding men
hijacked a truck and drove it into groups of
people at a busy Kashgar night-market before
jumping out and stabbing pedestrians. The
following day, a group of twelve Uighur men
attacked a restaurant in “Gourmet Food Street”,
a Han Chinese area, throwing explosives into
the crowded eatery. One of the men involved
had supposedly confessed to receiving
explosives and firearms training in ETIM
camps in Pakistan. It was sufficiently serious
for the ISI Chief, Ahmed Shuja Pasha, to fly to
China to discuss the situation and five Uighurs
were subsequently arrested in Pakistan and
deported to China. The TTP claimed
responsibility for the attacks and confirmed
that they were operating from a Waziristan
training camp.
All of these incidences were attributed to
the ETIM, and pressure on the Pakistan to rein
in the so-called terrorists operating from the
tribal areas. On Friday 24 August 20l2, two US
Hellfire missiles struck a militant training camp
in the Shawal Valley, near the border of North
and South Waziristan. The target of the drone
strikes was Abdul Shakoor Turkistani, the chief
of al Qaeda’s forces in FATA, who was killed
along with three of his commanders. His
predecessor was similarly killed two years ago
in 20l0.
The signal to the Chinese from the US was
clear, if they do not take a vested interest in a
wider role in Afghanistan, it would potentially
destabilize their Xinjiang region. The US had
done enough and China finally committed to a
Khalid Salahudin: Raheel Sharif’s Kashmir Policy
Nussrah Magazine 15
wider role. The developments took a multi-
pronged approach.
In November 2011, the “Heart of Asia –
Istanbul Process” had been initiated. The
Istanbul Process provided: “Agenda for
regional cooperation in the ‘Heart of Asia’ by
placing Afghanistan at its center and engaging
the ‘Heart of Asia’ countries in sincere and
result‐oriented cooperation for a peaceful and
stable Afghanistan, as well as a secure and
prosperous region as a whole.”
http://www.heartofasia-istanbulprocess.af/
This region-led dialogue was launched in
November 2011 to expand practical
coordination between Afghanistan and its
neighbors and regional partners in facing
common threats, including counter-terrorism,
counter-narcotics, poverty, and extremism. The
United States and over 20 other nations and
organizations serve as “supporting nations” to
the process.
The key 2014 and 2015 Heart of Asia
ministerial meetings were held in Beijing and
Islamabad respectively, indicating the political
focus of the process, and making the Heart of
Asia meetings a vehicle in the resolution of the
Afghan conflict.
The US also dangled the prospect of a
potential land route from Gwadar to Xinjiang,
providing the Chinese with a deep sea water
port and access to the Arabian Sea, and a much
shorter land route for transporting goods
instead of the long sea route via the south China
sea. The Chinese commitment to CPEC was
reflected in the fact that they made it as part of
their 13th five-year economic and social
development plan for the year 2016-2020.
In parallel, the Pakistani leadership,
specifically the military leadership had been
facilitating talks between the Chinese and pro
Pakistan Taliban leadership. Since November
2014, the Chinese and the now pro-Pakistan
Taliban leadership met over ten times.
It is also rather interesting that the
despicable APS massacre, and its timing
became the raison d’etre for the end of the good
Taliban bad Taliban policy, cajoling the
Afghan Taliban further towards the peace
table. This culminated in the first meeting
between the Afghan and pro Pakistan Afghan
Taliban leadership in Murree in July 2015.
Whilst the second meetings were suspended
after the revelation of the death of Mullah
Omar two years before, the pressure for the
peace process has continued.
Hence, the US used the threat of the ETIM
movement in destabilizing Xinjiang to draw the
Chinese into playing a wider security role in
Afghanistan. The potential of large commercial
contracts, coupled with CPEC was enough to
suggest to the Chinese that the benefits far
outweighed the potential hurdles. And finally,
the pressure on the Pakistani leadership to
bring the Afghan Taliban to the peace table
indicated to the Chinese that this was viable.
From a policy sense, it indicated to the
Chinese that for Raheel Sharif, the US interests
were Pakistan’s interests. Hence it would make
no sense for the Chinese to try and align with
Pakistan against the US.
This represents the treachery along the
Western border where the US desperation for
peace in Afghanistan has led them to draw
China into the region, and fundamentally using
Pakistan. The implications along the Easter
border are far more sinister. In an article
entitled “Chinese Pressure sees Pakistan Mull
status of Gilgit Baltistan” published in the
Express Tribune on 7th January 20l6, stated:
“Pakistan is mulling upgrading the
constitutional status of its northern Gilgit-
Baltistan region, which is also claimed by
India, in a bid to provide legal cover to a multi-
billion-dollar Chinese investment plan”….a
Khalid Salahudin: Raheel Sharif’s Kashmir Policy
Nussrah Magazine 16
third top government official from Gilgit-
Baltistan said the move was in response to
concerns raised by Beijing about the China
Pakistan Economic Corridor …China cannot
afford to invest billions of dollars on a road
that passes through a disputed territory
claimed both by India and Pakistan,” the
official, speaking on condition of anonymity,
said.”
http://tribune.com.pk/story/l023s23/chinese-
pressure-sees-pakistan-mull-constitutional-
status-of-gilgit-baltistan/
So now under Chinese pressure the need to
stabilize the CPEC route has led the Pakistani
leadership to consider incorporating Gilgit
Baltistan into the Pakistani constitution. This
will make the line of control the de facto
border, which is what the Indians have been
wanting for years. The implications are clear,
that the Kashmir liberation struggle is over.
Any anti-Indian activity across the line of
control, that could cause problems for the
CPEC, will draw the ire of China.
Hence, the blind commitment to the US has
now lead us to influence the Chinese to define
a pro Indian Kashmir policy. If the funding for
CPEC is part of the Chinese Five Year Plan,
how will they take to Pakistani hostilities
across the LOC? And as mentioned above, the
Chinese have seen the sincerity of Raheel
Sharif to the US (who are now aligned with
India), so why would the Chinese consider
taking a position on Kashmir that is anti-
Indian? It raises a more fundamental question.
Has Raheel Sharif made the Afghan policy also
the Kashmir policy? That is, by supporting the
Chinese involvement in Afghanistan and the
CPEC development, let Kashmir be “solved”
by default? Would this explain why, despite the
many provocations of the Indians on the
Eastern border, Raheel Sharif has opted not to
retaliate. In an article published in the Dawn
Newspaper on 24th September 2015, stated:
“Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General
Raheel Sharif on Thursday said the continuous
ceasefire violations by Indian forces along the
Line of Control (LoC) is an “unsuccessful
attempt” to distract Pakistan from its own anti-
terror war.” And this was not the first time that
this reasoning has been used, even as late as
January 2016, Asim Bajwa, addressing the
Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) stated
that India is attempting to divert Pakistan’s
attention from war against terrorism through
unabated border violations.
Thus, like Musharraf and Kayani before
him, Raheel is acting in betrayal of the
Muslims of Kashmir and thus committing
treason against the Islamic Ummah. Kashmir is
to be left to a fate where according to the
American plan, based on the Andorra model, it
will be divided and Hindus granted shared
autonomy even though Allah (swt) forbade the
Kuffar from any authority over Muslims. ﴿ ولن
﴾يجعل اللـه للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيال “And never
will Allah grant to the disbelievers a way
(sabeel) over the believers.” [Surah An-Nisaa
4:141]
The correct solution to the Kashmir issue is
not to grant India authority, wholly or partially,
over any part of it, but to liberate all of it from
the rule of the Hindu Kafir; instead of aiding
the ‘divide and rule policy’ of the Kuffar,
Muslims should work towards re-unifying all
Muslim lands under a single leadership. For
Allah (swt) said, ﴿ يا أيها الذين ءامنوا قاتلوا الذين
يلونكم من الكفار وليجدوا فيكم غلظة واعلموا أنه اللـه مع
﴾المتقين “O you who believe! Fight the
Unbelievers who gird you about, and let
them find firmness in you: and know that
Allah is with those who fear Him.” [Surah at-
Tawbah 9:123]

Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Pakistan
strongly condemns the despicable bomb blast
that took place in a public park in Lahore on 27
March 2016, as Christians gathered in
commemoration of Easter that resulted in at
least seventy dead and two hundred and fifty
injured, including women and children. Allah
(swt) said, ﴿ من أجل ذلك كتبنا على بني إسرائيل أنهه من
قتل نفسا بغير نفس أو فساد في األرض فكأنهما قتل النهاس
﴾جميعا ومن أحياها فكأنهما أحيا النهاس جميعا “Because of
that, We ordained for the Children of Israel
that if anyone killed a person not in
retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread
mischief in the land - it would be as if he
killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a
life, it would be as if he saved the life of all
mankind.” [Surah al-Maida 5:32]. RasulAllah
saaw said, ة » وذمه ة للاه أال من قتل نفسا معاهدا له ذمه
، فال يرح رائحة الجنهة، وإنه ريحها ة للاه رسوله فقد أخفر بذمه
«خريفاليوجد من مسيرة سبعين “He who kills a
covenanted person unjustly shall not find
the scent of heaven; and indeed its scent is
found at a distance of a seventy year march” (Tirmidhi).
As for ending this recurrent nightmare,
Hizb ut Tahrir makes it clear that the closure of
Islamic madrassas, closure of commercial
areas, registration of mobile SIMS and internet
connections, giving weapons and training to
teachers and placing snipers on roof tops of
schools do not address the root cause. Rather,
the root cause is the continuous presence of
enemy intelligence and private military assets
on our soil, such as those of America and India
for they are the head of the snake of terrorism.
The Raheel-Nawaz regime can resolve this
matter if they want to, but for this, they have to
abandon their masters sitting in Washington
and must erase every sign of US and its new
favorite ally, India, which are the masterminds
and fund-providers for these brutal attacks. It
is evident that the closer the Raheel-Nawaz
regime gets to the US and India, the greater the
wave of bomb blasts and attacks in Pakistan.
Our suffering and immense losses, in terms of
lives and property, are a direct consequence of
the regime making alliance with our enemies,
showing affection to them, extending them
sanctuary and provisions within our country,
providing them an upper hand over us by which
to strike us. Allah (swt) said, يا أيها الهذين آمنوا ال ﴿
كم أولياء تلقون إليهم بالمودهة وقد كفروا ي وعدوه تتهخذوا عدو
O you who believe! Choose“ ﴾اءكم من الحق بما ج
not My enemies who are your enemies as
friends showing them affection even when
they disbelieve in that truth that has come to
you.” [Surah Mumtahina 60:1]
Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan calls the
Ummah to join the struggle of Hizb so that
embassies of enemy states of US and India are
closed, diplomats and intelligence personal
expelled and the Raymond Davis and RAW
networks dismantled. The Hizb also calls the
sincere in the armed forces to cleanse their own
rank and file from traitors who are preventing
the steps that need to be taken to provide
security to our troubled lands. And this will
only happen when Nussrah is provided to Hizb
ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah
(Caliphate) upon the method of the
Prophethood.

ورسوله أولئك في األذلين﴾ ون هللا ﴿إن الذين يحاد
“Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and
His Messenger - those will be among the
most humbled.” [Surah Al-Mujadilah
58:20]Hizb ut-Tahrir, Wilayah Pakistan
Naveed Butt, the Official Spokesman for
Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Pakistan,
was abducted on 11 May 2012 by security
agency personnel. Until now, almost four years
later, Naveed has been kept hidden, denied
even a trial before the judiciary, as one of the
hundreds of “missing persons.”
Naveed Butt was abducted
simply because he was a
nationally prominent advocate
for the return of the Khilafah
(Caliphate) on the Method of the
Prophethood. And Naveed is
being kept hidden because the
regime is incapable of refuting
the truthful call to Islam,
argument for argument, evidence
for evidence.
Thus, the regime established
its weakness by abandoning
justice and resorting instead to the arrogant
brutality of Nimrod, Firawn and the Quraysh...
And the regime extended in its arrogance,
conducting an ongoing campaign against Hizb
ut Tahrir with arrests of its Shabab throughout
the country, in which it has used severe torture,
including merciless beatings and electrical
shocks.
This, then, is the brutal response of the
regime to the call for the implementation of
Islam, even though Allah (swt) said, ومن لم﴿
أنزل بما يحكم “ ﴾الظهالمون هم فأولئك للاه And
whosoever does not judge by all that Allah
has revealed, such are the Zalimun
(oppressors)” [Surah Al-Maida 5:45]. This is
the response of the regime to the call to re-
establish the Khilafah, so that the Muslims can
give Bayah to a Khaleefah
Rashid, even though RasulAllah
(saw) said, ومن مات وليس في عنقه«
And“ ب يعة مات ميتة جاهليهة «
whosoever dies without having
a Bay'ah upon his neck (i.e.
without a system of Bay’ah
existing), dies the death of
Jahiliyyah” [Muslim]. And this
is the response of the regime to
the deeply-held yearning of the
entire Ummah today for the
Khilafah, even though
RasulAllah (saaw) said, ثمه تكون«
أن تكون ثمه ملكا جبريهة فتكون ما شاء للاه
يرفعها إذ ا شاء أن يرفعها ثمه تكون خالفة
ة ثمه سكت « Then there will be an“ على منهاج النبوه
oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah
wishes them to be. Then Allah will end it
when He wishes. Then there will be a
Khilafah according to the method of
Prophethood.” Then he (RasulAllah) (saaw)
fell silent. [Ahmed]
And this, then, is the brutal stance of the
regime against the sincere and faithful callers
…the regime
established its
weakness by
abandoning justice
and resorting
instead to the
arrogant brutality
of Nimrod, Firawn
and the Quraysh.
Wilayah Pakistan – The Ones Who Oppose Allah and His Messenger
Nussrah Magazine 19
to Islam, even though Allah (swt) said, إنه الهذين﴿
فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثمه لم يتوبوا فلهم عذاب جهنهم ولهم
Verily, those who put into trial“عذاب الحريق ﴾
the believing men and believing women, and
then do not turn in repentance, then they
will have the torment of Hell, and they will
have the punishment of the burning Fire.”
[Surah Al-Buruj 85:10] And even though
RasulAllah (saaw) ومن عادى أولياء للا فقد بارز للا«
And whosoever shows hostility“ بالمحاربة«
to the Awliya (ones close to Allah) of Allah
will vie with Allah in belligerency” [Hakim
narrated as Sahih from Mu'aadh bin Jabal.]!
Moreover, arrogance blinds its possessor,
incapacitating reasoning, so the regime still
does not see that it is striking a hammer at its
own feet by declaring open war against Islam,
in a Muslim Land that is irrigated by the blood
of generations of martyrs, in a state that was
established in the name of Islam! Indeed, its
open hostility against Islam has only increased
the support of the Hizb ut Tahrir and drawn
even more attention and commitment to its
truthful call. And the future is for the believers,
whilst the tyrants of today only precipitate their
humiliation, just as their arrogant predecessors,
Nimrod, Firawn and the Quraysh did before
them. Allah (swt) said, ﴿إنه الهذين يحادون للاه
Indeed, the ones who“ورسوله أولئك في األذلين ﴾
oppose Allah and His Messenger - those will
be among the most humbled.” [Surah Al-
Mujadilah 58:20]
O Muslims of Pakistan!
Fear not the tyrant for tyranny is always
smashed upon the anvil of Imaan, as has been
established throughout the ages. Hizb ut Tahrir
is amongst us to lead us and calls us all to raise
our voices as tirelessly and fearlessly as its
Shabab do. Indeed, we will be tested even if we
are silent before the brutal oppressor, so we
must not fear any sacrifice in the path of
removing the oppressor. Allah (swt) says, ﴿ أوال
تين ثمه ال ة أو مره يتوبون وال يرون أنههم يفتنون في كل عام مره
﴾هم يذهكهرون “See they not that they are put in
trial once or twice every year? Yet, they turn
not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson
(from it).” [Surah at-Taubah 9:126]. We must
fear no harm from the oppressor, whether it is
persecution, arrest, torture or even martyrdom,
for we believe Allah (swt) when He says, قل ﴿
فليتوكهل لنا هو موالنا وعلى للاه لن يصيبنا إاله ما كتب للاه
Say: "Nothing shall ever happen“ ﴾المؤمنون
to us except what Allah has ordained for us.
He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and
Protector). And in Allah let the believers put
their trust.” [Surah at Taubah 9:51]. And we
must know that bravery will neither lessen our
lifespan nor our Rizq, just as cowardice will not
prolong either. RasulAllah (saaw) said, أال ال«
يمنعنه أحدكم رهبة النهاس أن يقول بحق إذا رآه أو شهده فإنهه
ب من أجل وال يباعد من رزق « Do not fear the“ ال يقر
people from speaking the Truth, when it is
witnessed or seen, for it will neither shorten
the life span nor cause loss in Rizq.”
[Ahmad]
O Muslims of Pakistan's Armed Forces!
Men like Naveed are neither a surprise nor
an exception for you, for this soil is fertile for
acts of bravery fueled by Imaan. You are a
Muslim army that knows well that Imaan
propels the Muslim to stand against the
oppressor, fearing only Allah (swt)'s Wrath and
Punishment. Allah (swt) said, ﴿ أتخشونهم حق أ فالله
,Do you fear them“ ﴾مؤمنين كنتم إن تخشوه أن
Allah is more worthy to be fearful of, if you
are Believers.” [Surah At-Tawba 9:13] Allah
(swt) says, ﴿منكم ظلموا الهذين تصيبنه ال فتنة واتهقوا
ة أنه واعلموا خاصه ﴾العقاب شديد للاه “And fear the
Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not
in particular (only) those of you who oppress
(but it will afflict everyone) and know that
Allah is Severe in punishment.” [Surah al-
Anfaal: 25]. RasulAllah (saw) said, إنه النهاس إذا«
بعقاب« هم للاه رأوا الظهالم فلم يأخذوا على يديه أوشك أن يعمه
“If the people witness an oppressor and they
Wilayah Pakistan – The Ones Who Oppose Allah and His Messenger
Nussrah Magazine 20
do not take him by his hands (to prevent
him) then they are close to Allah covering
them all with punishment.” [Abu Dawud,
Tirmidhi, ibn Majah].
However, you above all of us will be
questioned by Allah (swt) regarding the
oppressors that govern Pakistan today, for you
are the people of Nussrah, who have the
physical capability to end the oppressors' Kufr
rule and secure the implementation of Islam
within hours. It is upon you now to secure the
return of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the
Method of the Prophethood by granting the
Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir under its Ameer, the
eminent jurist and statesman, Sheikh Ata Bin
Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah. Those who have yet to
come forwards must do so now, for the work
for the Khilafah is near its end and not at its
beginning. So come forwards, O brothers,
knowing that no harm can befall us without the
permission of Allah (swt) and that the Believer
fears none but Allah (swt).

Nussrah Magazine 21
Let the Just Speak Now in Favor of the
Honorable Advocates of the Khilafah O People of Influence from within the
Muslims of Pakistan… Its Judiciary, Legal
Fraternity, Security Apparatus and Human
Rights Advocates in Particular!
We address you regarding the severe and
prolonged persecution of the advocates for
Khilafah in Pakistan. Many have suffered
severe torture, including sleep deprivation,
merciless beatings, forced mind-altering
medication and electric shocks at the hands of
security agencies. Some have been imprisoned
and some have been abducted, their
whereabouts unknown until now. The
authorities have repeatedly denied essential
medical treatment and visitation rights to those
in prison. And families, friends and well-
wishers of both the imprisoned and abducted
have been repeatedly threatened by the security
agencies.
As is clear from the list that we present to
you at the end of this open letter, this brutal
treatment is inflicted upon noble Muslims,
dutiful sons and upright fathers, from many
walks of life and varied levels of education.
Moreover, it is well-known that Hizb ut
Tahrir is a political party that works
exclusively according to the non-violent
method clarified by the Messenger of Allah
(saaw), throughout the Muslim Lands
including Pakistan.
So, we must ask you directly that how, on
your watch, did simply calling for the Khilafah
become such a grave crime? How, on your
watch, did calling for Islam become deserving
of such severe punishment in a state that was
established in the name of Islam? Indeed, how
can the call to implement Islam ever be
regarded anything but a duty, when Allah (swt)
said, أنزل بما يحكم لم ومن ﴿ ﴾الظهالمون هم فأولئك للاه
“And whosoever does not judge by all that
Allah has revealed, such are the Zalimun
(oppressors)” [Surah Al-Maida 5:45]? And
how can advocacy of Khilafah ever be regarded
as anything but the noblest of pursuits, when
RasulAllah (saaw) foretold of its return as
being the cause of the end of oppression, ثمه«
أن تكون ثمه يرفعها إذا تكون ملكا جبريهة فتكون ما ش اء للاه
ة ثمه سكت « شاء أن يرفعها ثمه تكون خالفة على منهاج النبوه
“Then there will be an oppressive rule, and
things will be as Allah wishes them to be.
Then Allah will end it when He wishes. Then
there will be a Khilafah according to the
method of Prophethood.” Then he
(RasulAllah) (saaw) fell silent. [Ahmed]?
However, matters are determined by their
conclusions, so, it is not too late for you to raise
your voices now to right these injustices.
Indeed the atmosphere is favorable for you to
do so now, for the crimes against Hizb ut
Tahrir have become so numerous, that
discussion about Hizb ut Tahrir has now
entered the mainstream of society. Thus, those
who raise their voices in favor of the Khilafah
will be heard and appreciated, setting
themselves apart from those who are silent
over, or even applauding, the lowly actions of
the brutal regime. Thus, we leave in your care
and trust, a list of some of the advocates of the
Khilafah that are currently imprisoned or
abducted, reminding you of your duty to right
the injustice and end the oppression.

Q&A: Public Property
Nussrah Magazine 22
Q&A: Public Property Question:
Assalaamu Alaikum our honourable Sheikh, I
would like to ask you a question regarding
public ownership. Can a private ownership
transfer to a public ownership in accordance to
the Shariah rules, like transferring water
springs from a private ownership into public
property if that is needed for the public good?
And if the public no longer needs it, does it
revert as private property? Similar to oil wells
when they are depleted, can they become a
private property?
Thank you, and May Allah help you and make
your foothold strong,
Wa Assalaamu Alaikum Wa
Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu
Answer:
Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa
Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,
If any type of public
ownership was as a result of a
divine reason (‘illah), then the rule
will follow this divine reason,
whether it exists or in its absence.
If the ‘illah is present then that
public ownership will remain, but
if it was absent, then it will be
permitted to privately own that
type of property, however on the condition that
the ‘illah is Shar’i found in a Shar’i text.
For example, public utilities are
considered as public property, which have been
explained by the Prophet (saw) in the Hadeeth
in terms of its description, and not its quantity:
On the authority of Ibn Abbas that the Prophet
(saw) said: المسلمون شركاء في ثالث في الماء والكأل
,People are partners in three: Water“ والنار
Pasture, and fire.” Narrated by Abu Dawoud
and narrated by Anas from the Hadeeth of Ibn
Abbas and he added: وثمنه حرام “And its price
is Haram”.
Ibn Majah narrated from Abu Huraira
that the Prophet (saw) said: ثالث ال يمنعن: الماء
Three that must not be“ والكأل والنار
prevented: Water, Pasture, and Fire.”
This is the evidence that #people are
partners in water, pasture, and fire; and that
they are not permitted for ownership by
individuals.
However, the Prophet (saw) permitted
individuals to own water in Ta’if and Khaibar,
and they did so to irrigate their plants and
fields.
Similarly, some Muslims
privately owned wells in
Medina; Bukhari narrated on the
authority of Abdullah (ra) from
the Prophet (saw) that he said:
امرئ من حلف على يمين يقتطع بها مال
وهو عليه مسلم، هو عليها فاجر، لقي للاه
Whosoever gives oaths“ غضبان
falsely to take the wealth of a
Muslim illegitimately, he is a
fajir (wicked), and will meet
Allah while He (swt) is angry
with him.”
And Allah (swt) revealed:
وأيمانهم ثمنا قليال Indeed“ إنه الهذين يشترون بعهد للاه
those who exchange the covenant of Allah
and their [own] oaths for a small price.” [Al-
i-Imran: 77]
Al-Ash’ath came and said: An Ayah was
revealed about what Abu Abdul Rahman spoke
to you about me, I had a well in the land of my
cousin, he asked: شهودك “Your witnesses”, I
said I do not have witnesses, he said: فيمينه “his
oath (is required)”, I said: O Messenger of
Allah, then he must give an oath, then the
Prophet (saw) mentioned this Hadeeth, and
… public utilities
are considered as
public property,
which have been
explained by the
Prophet (saw) in
the Hadeeth in
terms of its
description, and not
its quantity…
Q&A: Public Property
Nussrah Magazine 23
Allah (swt) revealed the Ayah to support His
truth.” End quote
If partnership in water, in and of itself,
and not because of the need for it, it would have
not been permitted for individuals to own it.
From the saying of the Prophet (saw): المسلمون
People are partners in“ ..شركاء في ثالث في الماء
three: water…”
And the permission given
by the Prophet (saw) to
individuals to own water, this
extracts the ‘illah in the
partnership in water, pasture and
fire, and it is from the public
utilities that people cannot live
without.
Hence the Hadeeth has
mentioned three but they are
based on ‘illah because they are
public utilities.
Therefore this ‘illah
follows what is reasoned in its
existence and absence; so
anything that is considered as
public utility is considered as
public property, but if it is not
considered as public utility even if it was
mentioned in the Hadeeth like water, then it is
not public property, but it is considered as
property that can be privately owned. Public
utilities are decided when all resources are not
available for a group of people, whether it is a
group living in house made of tents, or living in
a village or city or a state, and have disputed to
get it, is considered public utility, like water
source, pastures or woods, grazing areas for
cattle, and the like.
-e.g. Minerals are considered as public
property if found in abundance, like in mines
and the like, these minerals are public property,
and it is not permitted to be owned by
individuals, due to what Tirmithi narrated from
Abyadh Bin Jamal: ه وفد إلى رسول للا ، فاستقطعه أن
الملح فقطع له، فلما أن ولى، قال رجل من المجلس: أتدري
ما قطعت له؟ إنما قطعت له الماء العد، قال: فانتزعه منه
“He came to the Prophet (saw) and asked to
assign him a salt (mine), so He (saw) did,
when he left, a man from his (saw) council
said: Are you aware of what you assigned
him? You assigned him a perennial (‘id)
spring of water, he said: so he took it back
from him. “’Id” water is the continuous source
of water, he drew the similarity between salt
and water for its unlimited
source. This Hadeeth is an
evidence that the Prophet (saw)
has given a portion of mountain
salt for Abyadh Bin Jamal, but
when he (saw) found out that the
mineral is unlimited, he took it
back from him and prevented its
private ownership, i.e. it is
public property.
Salt here is an example of a
mineral, what is intended is the
mineral not the salt. From this
Hadeeth it is clear that the ‘illah
of prevention of giving the
portion of the mineral of salt is
that it is ‘Id i.e. unlimited.
This ruling, that the
unlimited mineral is a public
property, which includes all minerals whether
they are on the surface and easily accessed that
people frequent and use, like salt, coal, emerald
and the like, or it was found underground, that
needs to be extracted with equipment, like
gold, silver, iron, bronze, lead, and the like.
And whether it is solid like crystals or
liquid like oil, they are minerals that come
under the Hadeeth. Since unlimited minerals
are public property for all citizens, the state is
not permitted to give its ownership to
individuals, companies, or allow individual or
companies to extract them for their own use;
instead the state must extract them itself on
behalf of the Muslims, in looking after their
affairs, and all that it extracts from them is
public property for all the citizens.
Minerals are
considered as
public property if
found in
abundance, like in
mines and the like,
these minerals are
public property,
and it is not
permitted to be
owned by
individuals
Q&A: Public Property
Nussrah Magazine 24
Therefore, the property mentioned in the
question will be considered as public
ownership if they are public utilities, e.g. the
water well in a village which is the only source
of water, it is a public property and not allowed
for individual ownership… But if the people in
the village have another sufficient source of
water, it will be permitted for an individual to
dig a well in his land and own it, because it is
not from the public utilities in this case, i.e. that
the ‘illah of its public property is absent. But
the well which was a public property does not
become a private property but remains as a
public property and it will be allowed to sell to
individuals if there is sufficient water for the
people and then it will be priced for the private
ownership.
Hence, the water well is a public
property if the people have no other source, but
if there was an depletes or the people do not
need it any more, i.e. the ‘illah is absent of it
being a public utility, by the presence of a
sufficient source of water, then it will be
permitted to sell that well to individuals and it’s
priced for private ownership. Oil wells for
example are public utilities as long as it is
unlimited, but if there were depletes, i.e. the
‘illah for being a public property is absent, then
it is allowed to sell this well for people and its
price is put for private ownership.

So in the case of theft, for example, in
terms of the Islamic criteria, which is used to
measure its benefit or harm to the person, and
which results in the person taking the action or
refraining from it, this is good and evil.
So you will say that theft is evil because
it is harmful according to the criteria of Islam
and therefore you will refrain from stealing.
D. So you will call theft (Qabih) ugly if the
discussion is about issuing the ruling on it i.e.
it is forbidden, and in terms of reward and
punishment i.e. the cutting off the hand in this
life or going to Hellfire in the Afterlife.
And theft is called Shar (evil) if the
subject of your discussion is the criteria that
you use to measure benefit and harm, so you
measure according to the criteria of Islam, not
by your benefit or whim, accordingly you find
it harmful and you will hate it and refrain from
doing it, and you will call it Shar (evil).
E. Conclusion:
If the discussion is in the context of
issuing the ruling on the actions and things and
what follows in terms of reward or punishment,
it will be described as Husn and Qubh.
If the discussion is over the criteria that you use
to measure the benefit or harm and therefore
love the action and carry it out or hate the
action and refrain from it, then this will be
described as good and evil.

Q&A: What is the Difference between Khair and Shar, and Husn and Qubh?
Nussrah Magazine 25
Q&A: What is the Difference between
Khair and Shar, and Husn and Qubh?Question:
As-Salaam Alaikum Sheikh, may Allah grant
you a long life to witness the victory,
InshaAllah.
I have a question about the difference
between Khair (good) and Shar (evil), and
Husn (pretty) and Qubh (ugly)? Because when
the topic is raised among the brothers, varying
answers are given on the subject, please explain
to us the difference between the two subjects,
May Allah bless you.
From Abu Qusay
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As-Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa
Barakatuhu
A. Husn (pretty) and Qubh (ugly), and Khair
(good) and Shar (evil) are terminologies used
by the scholars of jurisprudence and the
understanding of their meanings would be
according to how they defined and used them,
and not as in their stated meaning in the
language. I.e. for you to know the meaning and
the difference between them, you must refer to
the scholars of Jurisprudence not the scholars
of the language, do not open the dictionary and
look for the meaning of Husn and Qubh, and
Khair and Shar and then say that you obtained
the answer, you must look at what the
jurisprudence defined and follow that meaning.
B. The scholars of jurisprudence discussed the
(legislator) i.e. who has the authority to issue
the classification of the actions, whether they
are an obligation (fardh), recommended
(mandoub), permissible (mubah), detested
(makrooh), or forbidden (haram), and on the
things being halal or haram? This means that it
is in terms of the commands and prohibitions
on them, i.e. in terms of being praised and
condemned and the consequent reward or
punishment.
Hassan and Qubh are defined from this
angle. What is in accordance with the orders of
the Shariah is praised and obliged, it is Hassan
and it’s rewarded, and what is contrary to the
rules of Shariah is condemned and forbidden, it
is Qubh and it is punishable. Therefore Hassan
and Qubh are relevant when defining actions
and things in terms of what is their Hukm
Shar’i (Islamic ruling), and in terms of what are
the consequent praise or condemnation i.e. in
terms of the reward and punishment.
Therefore, in the case of theft, for
example, in terms of issuing its ruling, it is
forbidden, and in terms of praise and
condemnation and the consequences (reward
and punishment), that the cutting off the hand
is applicable or the Hellfire in the Hereafter,
here we say that theft is Qabih (ugly).
C. The scholars of jurisprudence also discussed
the criteria, which the person refers to when
measuring the effect of harm or benefit on him,
and if the person should undertake the action or
not as a result, so they refer a certain action to
the criteria of Islam, which they accepted, and
if the result of the measurement is (benefit)
according to Islam, then they love this action
and carry it out and they call it Khair (good),
and if the measurement is (harm) then this
action is hated and they decline from
undertaking the action and they call it Shar
(evil).

Q&A: Blood Money in the Accidental Killing
Nussrah Magazine 26
Q&A: Blood Money in the Accidental
KillingTo: Hamzeh Shihadeh
Question:
As-Salaam Alaikum, I have a question: in the
book, The Punishment System in Islam, it
states that the killing is of four types, the fourth
type what takes the course of wrongful killing,
and it is known as the murder without the will
of the perpetrator. If it is carried out without his
will then why does he have to pay blood
money, knowing that the Hadith says, my
Ummah will not be accounted for mistakes?
Answer:
Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa
Barakatuhu,
What you are asking about is mentioned
in the book, The Punishment System in Islam,
in the following texts: “And killing is in four
forms: intentional, and semi intentional and
accidental (mistaken) and what takes the course
of wrongful killing. The intentional form of
killing is clear from the verse: ومن يقتل مؤمنا
But whoever kills a believer“ متعمدا
intentionally” [An-Nisa: 93]
The semi-intentional is clear from the
narration of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas that
the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: أال إن دية
مائة من اإلبل منها أربعون الخطأ شبه العمد ما كان بالسوط
The blood money of the“ في بطونها أوالدها
killing by mistake, semi-intentional is what
is in place of one hundred camels, including
forty in the bellies of her children”
As for killing by mistake (accidental), it
is clear from the verse: وما كان لمؤمن أن يقتل مؤمنا
And never is it for a believer to kill a“ إال خطأ
believer except by mistake” [An-Nisa: 92]
As for what takes the course of wrongful
killing, it is a form of the killing by mistake but
the definition of killing does not fit it, because
its reality differs from the killing by mistake,
since the killing by mistake is accompanied by
the will of the deed, but the person misses the
target that he was aiming for, but what takes the
course of wrongful killing is not accompanied
by the will to act at all, the action is not by
intention at all, its reality is different from the
reality of the accidental killing, such as if a
sleeping person turns over on someone and
kills him, or if a person falls on someone from
a height and kills him, or trips over and falls on
someone and kills him ... that is why it takes the
ruling as the first form of killing by mistake,
which its blood money should be a hundred
camels, together with Kafara (atonement)
which is freeing a slave, if he does not have that
then he fasts for two consecutive months.” End.
And now we come to answer your
question:
The Hadith narrated by Ibn Hibban from
Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: تي الخطأ والنس تجاوز عن أمه يان وما استكرهوا إنه للاه
Allah forgives my Ummah for“ عليه
mistakes, forgetfulness and what is forced
upon them (by duress)”, is not an evidence for
what you explained because the meaning of the
hadith is that Allah Almighty does not punish
people for mistakes, or when they commit
action out of forgetfulness or under duress. I.e.
that Allah (swt) will not punish those people
because their actions do not carry any sin.
The one who kills another by mistake
when aiming a shot at a bird but it hits that
person, he is not sinful in Islam, and the same
is for the one who kills others in what takes the
course of wrongful killing, like falling from a
height and killing someone, it is not a sin in
Islam, because the action in both cases applies
to the hadith, they are not sinful... and it seems
that you asked the question because you
thought that the payment of blood money is a
punishment for an act of murder, the act is not
Q&A: Blood Money in the Accidental Killing
Nussrah Magazine 27
by the will of the person, but it was outside his
sphere of control, and so you asked how is he
punished?
And what is correct is that blood money
is in case of killing by mistake, and what takes
the course of wrongful killing is not a
punishment for an act of murder, this is
confirmed by the fact that this blood money is
due in the money of Al’Aqila, who are the kin
group of a man: his brothers, uncles and their
children, and downwards... Even though they
did not commit anything, and it is not
obligatory in the money of the killers who
killed by mistake, if he was to be punished then
the blood money (Diyyah) would have been
obliged from his money, as in the case of the
obligation from the money of the killer by
intention.
And from Shariah evidences is that
Blood money of killing by mistake is not taken
from the money of the murderer but from the
money of the ‘Aqila:
Directed by Ibn Majah in his Sunan
from Al-Mughira Bin Shu’ba that he said:
ية على العاقلة » صلى للا عليه وسلم بالد «قضى رسول للاه
“The Messenger of Allah (saw) decreed that
the blood money is on the ‘Aqila”.
I will quote to you the opinions of the
scholars who have adopted this:
- Abu Yusuf, the companion of Abu Hanifa,
says in his book "Al-Athar": “.. and killing by
mistake is when you aim at something but
strike another by the weapon, the blood money
is therefore in this case is upon the ‘Aqila ...”
- In As-Sunan Al-Kubra by Bayhaaqi: “Ash-
Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I
did not know anyone who disputed that the
Messenger of Allah (saw) decreed that blood
money is on the ‘Aqila, and this is more in the
Hadith of Al-Khasah, we mentioned it from
Hadith of Al-Khasah.” This is also mentioned
in “Al-Uum” by Ash-Shafi’i: “There are two
states of the mind, the intentional (killing), in
which the blood money is taken from the
offender and not his ‘Aqila, whether there is a
decrease or increase, and the mind of the
(killing) by mistake in which the blood money
is on the ‘Aqila of the offender, whether there
is a decrease or increase.”
- Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni: “Ibn al-
Mundhir said: It is agreed by all of whom we
learned from the scholars, that killing by
mistake, is when someone aims to throw
something, but hits another, I do not know of
anyone who disagreed. This is the view of
Omar bin Abdul Aziz, Qatada, Nakha'i, Az-
Zahri, Ibn Shubrumah, Ath-Thawry, Malik,
Ash-Shafi'i, and people of opinion. This
mistake makes it an obligation on the ‘Aqila to
pay the Diyyah and kafara from the money of
the killer, and we do not know of any dispute.”
In conclusion, Diyyah, the blood
money, in the accidental killing is not a
punishment to the murderer in the sense that he
is sinful because of the accidental killing,
otherwise it would have been taken from his
money and not from the ‘Aqila’s money, who
did not commit the killing, the accidental killer
is not sinful for killing by mistake or what takes
the course of wrongful killing, and the noble
Hadith applies to it.
As for why the Shar’i obliged the blood
money on killing by mistake and what takes the
course of wrongful killing upon the ‘Aqila, it is
for a wisdom not specified for us by the Shar’,
and Allah is the Most Wise Most Aware.

Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas

Q&A: Political Developments in Respect
to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Question:
By following the course of events in the
latest truce in Syria up until now, it appears that
America is serious this time in respect to the
truce and convening negotiations to establish a
secular government in Syria consisting of the
opposition and the regime. So is this correct?
And does that mean that America has turned
away from the idea of bringing about a
replacement agent for its current agent Bashar
whilst it has relied upon Bashar continuing in
the position of ruling?
And another question if I may and it is: In
regards to the circumstances in
Libya; every time a solution is
brought near, the situation returns
to being complicated once again.
So they made an agreement in
Skhirat and the agreement
established the legitimacy of the
Tobruk parliament representing
an accomplishment for Tobruk…
However, it is still postponing
giving the vote of confidence to
the government whilst Sarraj had
responded to them by reducing
the number of ministers from 32
to 18, so how can this
procrastination be understood?
Jazaak Allahu Khairan.
Answer:
We have previously issued an ‘Answer to
Question’ on 19/01/2016 titled: “The Most
Recent New Developments in the Libyan
Crisis” and we clarified in it the subject of the
Libyan problem… Similarly, we issued a
leaflet about Syria on 11/12/2015 titled: “Two
Prevalent Evils Bound Together…” which was
about the Riyadh Conference and the formation
of the High Negotiations Committee. We also
issued another leaflet of 24/02/2016 under the
heading: “Regime’s Security Truce in Munich
is the Bloody and Fatal scheming of
America…” in which we explained and
clarified the subject of the current truce and
negotiations. That was detailed and it is
possible to understand the answer from it. That
is because the map of events remains within the
borders of the general outline that we have
explained in the publications… Despite that the
following represents further explanation and
clarification… However, before that, I will
clarify a difference between Syria and Libya in
respect to the struggle that is
taking place in each of them:
The subject of Libya differs
from the subject of Syria because
the struggle in Syria is between
America, its allies and followers
and the people of Syria whilst it
is not a struggle between
America and another major state.
That is because Russia is
implementing the American
plans as the result of a dirty deal
whilst Putin believes that his
service to America in Syria will
lead to relieving the problems in
Russia’s southern borders in
regards to Ukraine… As for
Europe, then it revolves around
America, repeating what it says
in order to attain something or
even just a part of something from it! That is
because both Russia and Europe realise that the
influence belongs to America and so they do
not covet competing with it in gaining
influence in Syria… As such, the struggle is
between America and the people of Syria in
addition to every sincere and truthful Muslim
behind them in support.
The subject of
Libya differs from
the subject of Syria
because the
struggle in Syria is
between America,
its allies and
followers and the
people of Syria
whilst it is not a
struggle between
America and
another major state.
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 29
As for Libya, the struggle over influence is
between America and Europe; particularly
Britain, France to an extent and then Italy to a
lesser extent… Consequently, America has
been astonished and taken aback by what it has
seen in terms of the resilience of the people of
Syria in the face of the American plans
throughout the five years of the Syrian
revolution. On the other hand, in Libya it is
reassured by its power by which it is
combatting Europe and as such takes part in the
struggle with Europe with this power whilst
feeling a certain level of assurance…
After explaining this difference, we will
now mention some further explanation and
clarification about what was mentioned in your
question:
Firstly: The subject of Syria:
As for America being serious in respect to
the subject of the truce and negotiations, then
that is correct… As for it turning away from
seeking another replacement agent for its
current agent Bashar, then that is not correct.
That is because, at the time that it finds an
alternative, it will end Bashar’s role just as it
did with its subordinates previously. The
explanation for that is as follows:
America has put all of its weight into
stopping the revolution and finishing it off
under the headings of ceasefire, cessation of
fighting and the halt of aggressive acts… It
held conferences in Geneva, Vienna and
Riyadh and issued resolutions in the Security
Council… This is without mentioning its work
to abort the revolution by military actions
undertaken by its agent Bashar, Iran and its
party in Lebanon, and Russia. This is in
addition to America itself being involved and
its drawing in of other states alongside it under
the cover of an international alliance with the
pretext of fighting against ISIS and terrorism…
And most recently it has found some breathing
space as a result of the Munich meeting on
12/02/2016 in an attempt to stop the revolution
within a week through a ceasefire. Then, when
this did not come to pass, its Secretary of State
Kerry met with his Russian counterpart Lavrov
on 22/02/2016. They then announced in a joint
statement that the ceasefire will begin to be
implemented on Saturday midnight
27/02/2016. All of that was an introduction for
establishing its secular plan within the
negotiations which it was preparing for within
the coming days following that in Geneva…
The evidence indicating America’s seriousness
is the measures that it has undertaken linked to
this direction and particularly since the two
days 9-10/12/2015 when the Riyadh
Conference took place to prepare the formation
of opposition committee for holding
negotiations with the regime. These measures
included:
1 – America’s preparation of a supporting
base for it within Syria by influencing its
followers ‘Turkey and Saudi’ to generate
promising atmospheres for negotiations
without objection. The indications of that are as
follows:
a - It delegated Saudi to gather the
followers and subordinates in Riyadh and
particular those from the armed groupings, and
to form a negotiating committee using the
carrot and stick approach oiled with cash and
weapons… It was successful in respect to that
and so this body or committee was formed from
those who had sold their Akhirah (Hereafter)
for the Dunya (life of this world) of others… In
this way America was capable, for the first time
since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, to
insert armed groups into the negotiation
committees which accept to negotiate in order
to share with the regime within a single rule.
“And in a press conference convened Thursday
night Abdul Aziz As-Saqr, the Head of the Gulf
Centre of for Studies, said that a delegation
from the opposition will meet with a delegation
from the regime within the first ten days of the
coming January… and the agreement stated the
formation of a high committee consisting of 32
members; 10 belonging to the (armed) groups,
9 to the alliance, 5 to the coordination body and
8 independents” (Al-Jazeera.net, 11/12/2015).
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 30
The negotiators had previously been from those
who resided outside of Syria and had no refuge
internally… As such, those (armed) groups that
joined the body or committee had betrayed the
people and particularly those who had been
supporting them because they had thought that
they had been established to rid them from the
tyrannical regime!
B – Erdogan’s visit to Saudi and the
discussion about the subject of the truce and
negotiations in order to implement the
American plan in Syria and to convince their
(armed) groups within Syria to agree to the
truce and to form a body or committee made up
of the opposition to participate in the
negotiations. “The Turkish President Erdogan
arrived Tuesday in Saudi in a visit in which he
will discuss the issues of the region,
particularly Syria and Yemen, with officials
during the visit. And shortly after his arrival in
the King Khalid international airport in Riyadh,
Erdogan was transported to the Yamamah
Palace where the Saudi King Salman Bin
Abdul Aziz received him, as reported by the
official Saudi news service” (Al-Quds
29/12/2015).
C – America held preliminary meetings
with the negotiators to school them upon that
which it intended for them to undertake in
terms of solutions. Even when it was expected
for the matters to proceed as they had wanted,
this wish was sealed by the rapid and random
convergence and drawing closer of ties
between Turkey and Iran. As such Davutoglu’s
visit to Iran came in spite of the heated
statements exchanged between the two, and
that was to coordinate between them the
utilisation of their respective influences over
their (armed) factions and followers within
Syria, in order to implement the American plan
in Syria… “The Turkish Prime Minister,
Ahmet Davutoglu arrived on Friday night, the
4th of March, in the Iranian capital Tehran at
the head of a delegation that consisted of a
number of ministers, in the first visit by a
Turkish Prime Minister to Iran since two
years… and the Iranian Persian news agency
mentioned that the Turkish Prime Minister will
meet with the major Iranian officials to discuss
the development and consolidation of
economic and trade cooperation between the
two countries…” (Russia Today, 04/03/2016).
It appears that they covered up the visit in a
ridiculous manner that would not convince the
average people by making the meeting appear
to be for trade purposes!!
2 – Throughout these cunning political
actions from its agents to prepare the regional
and internal environments for negotiations, it
was generating pressuring environments to
implement the American plan by actions
ranging from fabricating and distorting the
reality in order to give the appearance that the
plan of negotiations being put forward by
America represents the best solution for
Syria… to military actions undertaken by it or
Russia which is proceeding along with it as part
of a dirty deal or by its followers and regional
and local tools… These actions include:
a – America has worked to focus upon the
idea that the people of Syria only have one of
two choices; they either agree to the American
secular plan for Syria via negotiations or Syria
will be fragmented and divided… Because it
grasps that the people of Syria will flee from
the division and breakup of the land they
thought that the people would accept to
negotiate in order to settle its secular plan for
Syria by forming a joint rule between the
regime and the opposition… In order for
America to make this idea believable, America
and Russia made statements about the division
as a source of pressure upon the negotiations to
frighten the negotiators and to generate a
severely heated environment upon the people
of Syria, in the case where if the people of Syria
were to not agree to the American plan to bring
about a secular state consisting of the regime
and the opposition within Syria, then Syria
would never remain whole but would rather be
divided. In accordance to that Kerry stated, “It
may be too late to keep it as a whole Syria, if
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 31
we wait much longer” (Reuters 23/02/2016)…
And Russia spoke about a federal state in Syria
as the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei
Ryabkov said, “Moscow hopes that the
participants in the Syrian negotiations arrive at
the idea of establishing a Federal Republic and
this is a demand that the Kurds are demanding”
(Al Hadath Satellite Channel, 29/02/2016). All
of which to apply pressure upon the negotiators
from the opposition so that they approve of the
political system that America will impose or
otherwise there will be division… This is
whilst America has forgotten or has been made
to forget, alongside its allies, that the people of
Syria, just as they reject the division of the land
they also reject the American secular plan and
that they regard both plans to be two prevalent
evils that America has formulated and these
will never pass through except by the traitors of
the Ummah who are themselves heading to
oblivion by Allah’s permission…
b – The intensification of Russian air
strikes during the negotiations as a message
directed to the negotiators to accept negotiating
to settle the America plan and if they don’t then
the attacks will further intensify. As such the
Russia attacks significantly intensified during
the Geneva 3 talks that began on the 1st of
February 2016 and the intensifying of the siege
of Halab (Aleppo) represented a means to
pressurise the negotiators…
c – Alluding to an implicit or even explicit
threat to anyone who rejects the negotiations
and in this context Kerry stated on 24/02/2016:
“There is a significant discussion taking place
now about a Plan B in the event that we do not
succeed at the [negotiating] table,” (Reuters
24/02/2016). And Al-Jubeir repeated his
teacher’s words saying: “…but if the truce did
not continue, there would be other options
including the U.S. Secretary of State's
statement on the existence of a plan (b) if it
turns out that the Syrian regime and its allies
are not serious. Then, the other option can be
considered and focus will be on it” (CNN
Arabic site 28/02/2016 and Alriyadh.com
29/02/2016).
From the aforementioned, it is clear that
America is really serious about the truce and
the negotiations in order to accomplish its
secular plan for Syria.
It appears that these means have been
successful to act as an excuse and justification
for the opposition negotiating committee to
continue with the negotiations with the regime
as: “The special UN envoy to Syria Steffan De
Mistura announced that a new round of talks
aimed at ending the conflict will be held in
Geneva between the 14th and 24th of March
under the supervision of the international
organisation” (Ar-Riyadh, Thursday 10th
March 2016). Then the opposition committee
for negotiations began the preparation of the
environments to agree to the negotiations. “The
High Negotiating Committee that represents
the Syrian opposition groups said on
Wednesday the 9th of March 2016 that it
viewed the action framework put forward by
the UN for the peace talks to be positive and
that it had noticed a retreat in the violations of
the government forces to the truce in the
previous day. And Salim al-Muslat, the
spokesman for the High Committee for
Negotiations said that it will make a final
decision soon in respect to participating in the
negotiations decided to take place in Geneva”
(AFP, DW 09/03/2016). Then the news site
‘Russia Today’ reported on 11/03/2016, “The
High Committee for Negotiations Syrian
opposition announced that it will participate in
the upcoming round of negotiations in Geneva
next Monday…” (Russia Today, 11/03/2016).
2 – As for America having turned away
from looking for a replacement agent then this
is not correct… That is because Bashar has lost
the ability to guarantee a stable rule in Syria
that is capable of serving the American
interests. America only wishes for him to stay
in the transitional stage so that it is able during
that period to search for a new agent with a face
that is less black or marred than the face of
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 32
Bashar which is capable of fooling the people
so that he can implement its interests whilst
smiling at the people! America is therefore
keenly concerned to establish a secular agent-
rule in Syria that serves its interests just as
Bashar and his father had done before. Even the
rotten air of division that it has broadcast is far
off to being sought in Syria
unless it fails to establish a
replacement agent for Bashar
the current agent... For that
reason, what is important to
America now is the ceasefire so
that it can work within the calm
to implement its plans and bring
about a secular rule made up of
the regime and the opposition,
and that will be until it finds the
replacement to take Bashar’s
place… America considers this
ceasefire and the commitment of
the opposition to it, in particular
as it has been able to involve
some of the so-called Islamic
groups to accept the truce and
negotiations, it considers that to
represent the greatest success for
it since five years in regards to confronting the
revolution taking place against its influence
and agents in Shaam… In addition, Russia has
considered that to be a great success as well and
an opportunity to consolidate the regime. For
that reason, the Russia’s envoy Vitaly Churkin
to the UN, said to the Kommersant Newspaper
whilst commenting upon the Munich
agreement, “Damascus, as I hope, understands
this is a unique chance for Syria after five years
of unremitting destruction.” (AFP 19/02/2016).
And following that Bashar Assad announced
his readiness to accept the ceasefire.
3 – These are the calculations of America
and Russia in addition to the followers and
subordinates… As for the calculations of the
sincere people of Syria then this is something
else that will strike down the plans of the
disbelievers and the colonialists, their agents
and all those who revolve in their orbit whilst
their plotting will mean their destruction by the
permission of Allah. ﴾وما كيد الكافرين إاله في ضالل﴿
“But the plan of the disbelievers is not except
in error” [Ghaafir: 40].
That is because the men of Shaam are not
those who hover in the Intercontinental Hotel
in Riyadh around money and
misguidance, and then go on to
form a negotiations committee…
And they are not the traitors of the
Ummah who incline towards the
direction of dirty money… And
they are not those who deceive
themselves who say that the
regime should be negotiated with
whilst at the same time say that
there is no place for the head of the
state, because the one who does
not accept a place for him would
not negotiate with his regime!
And they are not those who are
dictated to regarding a secular
civil state whilst nodding their
heads in approval whilst at the
same time they pretend that they
are those who represent Islam!
They are not those who talk about democracy
and the making of Halaal and Haraam by men
instead of the ruling of the Lord of all men
whilst Allah the Most Wise of judges says: إن
Verily the Hukm is for none but“الحكم إاله لله
Allah” [Yusuf: 40].
They are not those… Rather they are the
lions of Shaam whom the Ummah recognises
by their truthfulness and sincerity whilst they
recognise it and that the goodness will never
cease until the Day of Judgement… They are
those who proclaim and proclaim with their
hearts and mouths “It if for Allah, it is for
Allah”… They are those who desire for ash-
Shaam that which Allah Almighty loves for it
and His Messenger to be: «عقر دار اإلسالم بالشهام»
“The Abode [centre homeland] of Islam is in
ash-Shaam.” (Extracted by At-Tabarani in
‘Al-Kabeer’ on the authority of Salamah Bin
…the men of
Shaam are not
those who hover in
the Intercontinental
Hotel in Riyadh
around money and
misguidance, and
then go on to form
a negotiations
committee…
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 33
Nufail). They are those who reject the division
with the same force as they reject the secular
plans of America in addition to all of the plans
of the disbelievers and hypocrites… They are
the sincere and truthful within the land of
Shaam, steadfast upon the truth that they are
upon, those who comprehend that the Baatil
(falsehood) wins a round whilst the Haqq
(truth) wins rounds, and so they do not bargain
with their Deen and their Ummah… They are
those who saw with complete clarity that their
revolution is in truth a source that reveals and
exposes as the conspirators have been revealed
and the traitors exposed. All of those have been
laid bare equally and so none are fooled by
them, apart from the one who is not mindful
and none apart from the ignorant gives weight
to their plotting… They (the sincere people of
Syria) are tranquil and assured that the plans of
the disbelievers will be brought to failure from
where they don’t suspect.
﴿وسيعلم الهذين ظلموا أيه منقلب ينقلبون﴾
“And those who have wronged are going
to know to what [kind of] return they will be
returned” [Ash-Shu’araa: 227].
Secondly: The subject of Libya:
As we have mentioned above the subject of
Libya differs from the subject of Syria because
the struggle in Syria is between America, its
allies and followers on one side and the people
of Syria on the other. It is not a struggle
between America and another major state like
the situation in Libya where the struggle is
between America and Europe; particularly
Britain, France to an extent and Italy to a lesser
extent. It is therefore fundamentally an
international struggle even if local tools have
been made use of within it…
After explaining this difference, we will
add further explanation and clarification in
regards to what came in the question about
Libya:
1 – It is observed that America is not
focused upon the political solution and its
success in Libya which is the opposite to what
it is doing in Syria. Rather, it is signalling
towards military intervention and requested it
within the Security Council whilst it has
worked to obstruct and hamper the political
solution. Indeed, it even began to launch
sporadic attacks since November last year,
when it stated that it had killed someone from
its wanted list. This was then followed by
around 20 of its soldiers entering a Libyan base
before leaving it, and thereafter came the last
operation that the American planes undertook
on 19/02/2016 when they killed 49 people
claiming that they were affiliated to the Islamic
State organisation (ISIS) the majority of whom
were from Tunisia. This is regarded to
represent the biggest of its operations that
killed the largest number… and it appears that
it will continue with strikes similar to these:
“Obama will be chairing Thursday 28/01/2016
a meeting of the National Security Council that
has been specially set up to look into the
situation in Libya in the case where the major
western states fear that a constitutional vacuum
in Libya will represent a fertile ground for the
growth of the terrorist organisation… And the
White House said in a statement: “The
president directed his national security team to
continue efforts to strengthen governance and
support ongoing counterterrorism efforts in
Libya and other countries…” (nst.com
30/01/2016 and Middle East Online
29/01/2016).
2 – This decision indicates the extent of the
gravity of the situation in regards to America in
Libya. Its cause is not the threats posed by ISIS
as is being made to stand out since it is only an
excuse to intervene, but rather there are major
states preventing America from expanding its
influence in Libya. It is for that reason that we
see America acting freely whilst not paying
regard to the final agreement signed in Skhirat,
Morocco on 17/12/2015 and is not focused
upon its implementation. That is whilst its talk
about military intervention in Libya has been
predominant against what it has called
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 34
‘terrorism’. Had this agreement been in its
favour it would have been eager to apply it with
all that it has of power… This has all happened
after it was unable through its agent Haftar
since 2014 to gain control and spread its
influence within Libya by making the regime
fall into its hands. It therefore began to
intervene in a direct manner without obtaining
an international resolution from the Security
Council when Britain obstructed the issuing of
a resolution permitting military intervention
inside Libya. For this reason, the application of
the political solution will remain obstructed.
3 – America is giving the appearance that
it accepts the political agreement made in
Skhirat at the same time that it works to delay
its implementation and we able to confirm that
through the statement of CIA Director John
Brennan on 25/02/2016 acknowledged that the
United States in practice was pursuing a two-
track policy in Libya, in which it was engaged
both in a diplomatic effort to knit together two
competing, regionally based self-proclaimed
Libyan governments while also conducting
"counter terrorism" operations against a
growing contingent of Islamic State militants.”
(AFP 25/02/2016). And the Secretary of State
John Kerry said, “We have been working really
hard for the last months, particularly, to bring
together a government in Tripoli. If they cannot
get themselves together, yes it will be a failed
state.” (Reuters, 24/02/2016). It is therefore
making the claim that it has worked diligently
for the formation of the government! Which
means in accordance to the measures of
America or otherwise it will cause it to fail and
because the government agreed in Skhirat will
not come to pass. In addition, it has worked to
obstruct its formation by a flimsy excuse
through its agent in the Tobruk parliament
when they said that they reject its formation
from 32 ministers. The head of the Government
Fayez Sarraj went to Egypt on 22/01/2016 and
met with its ruler Abdul Fattah As-Sisi in a visit
that lasted for 6 days. Sarraj attempted to please
the American agents and so he announced at
the end of his visit his readiness to reduce the
number of ministers. Then when Sarraj left
Cairo Haftar landed there to find out the
conclusions and to receive instructions in
respect to what he should do and to ensure
increased support for him. That means that
America is not content about the formation of
the government because its formation has not
occurred in accordance to what it desires…
Sarraj then reduced the number of members of
the government and formed it from 18
ministers and presented it to the Tobruk
parliament on 23/02/2016 which they then
rejected. Even an armed gang, which they said
were unknown assailants, attacked the
parliament members who had come to vote and
acted to prevent them from entering. The
required amount was then not met in the case
where 86 deputies from the 200 members of
parliament in total. As a result, the parliament
chair dispersed the session and so America
through its gangs and its loyal parliament
members are working to obstruct it….
4 – As for the reason for this obstruction,
then that is because the greater portion of the
political medium in Libya are from the remains
of Gaddafi’s era, i.e. they are loyal to Europe…
This means that any ministerial formation will
be in accordance to this measure just as it is
within the new ministry. This is whilst America
is reliant upon Haftar and a band from amongst
the military around him and it hoped that bases
would be established for him alongside a new
political medium which would have the
greatest share within the rule and have control
over it. However, until now, he has been unable
and not all of his military actions have been
successful, indeed they have been failing. For
that reason, America is obstructing the political
solution to the best of its ability by way of
military intervention, by Haftar and its
subordinates until it can guarantee a rule in
which it has the lion share within it…
Consequently, the military intervention
represents a means to focus its political
interests within Libya and it appears that it will
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 35
never stop until it has accomplished what it
desires.
5 – This is contrary to what Europe is doing
as it is working to make the agreement succeed,
the government to be formed and approved.
Since it still has control or dominance over the
political medium and the indications for that
are numerous. So, the French president
Hollande met with the British agent
Muhammad the 6th, the King of Morocco, in
France in 17/02/2016 and they discussed the
situation in Libya. They then declared that they
are urging the Libyan parliament to give its
vote of confidence to the government of
national reconciliation under the leadership of
Sarraj. British Foreign Minister Phillip
Hammond undertook a visit to Algeria and met
with its Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra on
19/02/2016 and reiterated there that military
intervention in Libya is not representative of
the most appropriate solution to solving the
crisis that the land has witnessed and he called
for a political solution. The Algerian Foreign
Minister supported his British counterpart and
said Libya and Algeria do not believe that a
military intervention to be regarded as the
solution for solving the crisis in Libya. All of
the efforts expended aim at enabling Libya to
appoint a government of national unity that will
be effective in the struggle against terrorism…
(Algerian News, 19/02/2016). Therefore,
Britain, supported by France, is utilising its
regional forces as well to make the political
process succeed and to obstruct the military
intervention that America is promoting…
As for what is being heard from statements
about military actions from some of the
European nations then this comes from the
angle of precaution so that the arena is not left
open to America if no room remains for
anything other than intervention. The news
media reported that Britain sent a military force
to Libya. The African portal reported on
12/01/2016 from the British site ‘Socialist
Worker’ that, “The Tories have sent 1,000
British troops to Libya to defend oil fields
threatened by the advance of Isis-supporting
forces. A Royal Navy destroyer has been
directed to the North African coast and the
RAF has been asked to prepare for air-strikes
against targets in Libya. This is a major
escalation.” The French Le Monde Newspaper
published on 24/02/2016 that: “elite special
forces unit are participating in a secret war
against the extremists of ISIS in Libya.” This
means that France is preparing to intervene
when that is necessary albeit in a secret manner
whilst it sends special-forces alongside Britain
to prevent America being militarily alone there.
France does not wish to expose that but rather
does it covertly because it does not want to
make military intervention a natural and
legitimate matter in regards to Libya at this
time. This is as it works with Britain to
implement the political solution, the formation
of the government and to provide support to
it… Even when America attempted to
embarrass Europe with the military
intervention by making statements about
interventions from Europe here and there,
Europe was quick to deny those statements…
“The Italian President Matteo Renzi denied
Sunday that it was Italy’s intention to send
approximately 5000 troops to Libya saying that
the conditions were not favourable for a
military intervention in the former Italian
colony. And Renzi said during a television
discussion programme (Canale 5 television),
“As long as I am prime minister, Italy will
not go to Libya for an invasion with 5,000
men.” "If there is a need to intervene, Italy will
not back down. But this is not the situation
today. The idea of sending 5,000 men is not on
the table," Renzi said. He had been responding
to the American ambassador in Italy, John
Phillips who expressed to the Corriere della
Sera newspaper, on Friday, that Rome could
send up to 5000 troops” (Source: News
Agencies, Russia Today 07/03/2016) … “And
Italy stated that it specifies, before the
dispatching of those troops, the receipt of an
official request from the Libyan government
Q&A: Political Developments in Respect to the Syrian and Libyan Arenas
Nussrah Magazine 36
after it has attained the confidence of the
parliament” (Al Arabiya 08/03/2016). In this it
is exposing an American intervention without
waiting for a Security Council resolution or the
decision of a legitimate government in Libya.
This all means that the situation will not be
stable in the near future for Libya and that it is
unexpected for a government with standing to
emerge in Libya that is capable of preserving
security or bring about stability. The most that
can happen is for there to be a third government
that has no power attached to it and that is
particularly because America has been
belittling its status whatever new government
emerges: “… Experts warned that the signing
of the members in the Tripoli and Tobruk
parliaments, the agreement upon the formation
of a national unity government will never lead
to anything other than a third government in the
country which will only exacerbate the
fragmentation and chaos… “If a government of
national unity is formed, there are likely to be
factions from both (existing) governments that
refuse to accept its legitimacy,” warned The
Soufan Group, a US-based think-tank. “The
fledgling government will likely have a fight
on its hands before the ink is dry…” (Soufan
Group) according to the British Guardian
Newspaper,” (16/12/2015). So even if its
formation takes place then it will never be more
than a break from the warring which will then
resume thereafter. What is apparent, is that
America will never stop, on this occasion, from
working until it has the main role within Libya.
That is because, for the first time, it actually has
agents in this way whilst it has the opportunity
to intervene under the pretext and justification
of fighting against ISIS.
In conclusion, there will never be stability
within Libya until the hand of the colonial
states is severed from interference. The most
important matter is bringing down its cheap
local tools who are in positions of authority in
this state or that one, whilst they are traded with
to prepare for their intervention. Indeed, they
serve them in it and fight on their behalf by way
of delegation! It is therefore a duty upon the
sincere and aware to undertake diligent work to
make all forms of foreign intervention fail and
to cast out the colonialists from the land,
whether they are Europeans or Americans.
They must also reject all of their solutions and
plans and cause them to collapse in addition to
bringing down their agents whilst working to
take over the reins of the affairs and to establish
the rule of Allah upon His earth… Verily, we
do not depreciate the goodness that exists
amongst the people of Libya, the land of the
memorisers of the Qur’an, as there are within it
truthful and sincere men who are capable by the
permission of Allah to cause the plans of those
who harbour hatred against Islam and its
adherents to fail and Allah is Al-Qawwiy Al-
‘Azeez who grants victory to whom He wishes.
ه ينصركم ويثبت ﴿يا أيها الهذين آمنوا إن تنصروا اللـه
أقدامكم * والهذين كفروا فتعسا لههم وأضله أعمالهم﴾
“O you who have believed, if you
support Allah, He will support you and plant
firmly your feet. But those who disbelieve -
for them is misery, and He will waste their
deeds” [Muhammad: 7-8].

Expose the Western Conspiracy to Prevent
the Return of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on
the Method of the Prophethood in Syria The Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir in
the Wilayah of Pakistan calls upon the Muslims
of Pakistan's print and electronic media to
expose the horrendous American conspiracy
against our brothers and sisters in Syria. It is a
Western conspiracy to prevent the fall of
America's agent in Syria, Bashar al-Assad, and
the rise of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the
Method of the Prophethood in the place of his
evil, Kufr rule. We call upon you whilst fully
aware of the immense pressure upon you from
the criminal regime regarding proper, balanced
coverage over Syria. This policy is firmly in
place today and was instituted by the
predecessors of the current rulers in slavery to
America, after the Kayani-Zardari regime sent
Pakistan's Ambassador to Syria on 29 July
2012, to meet the Syrian Information Minister
to focus on media coverage of the blessed
revolution. Yet, we must call upon you because
it is your duty as the media of Muslims, to
protect the Ummah from the harm of the
American plans.
Thus, we call upon the media of Pakistan
to expose the American and Russian-imposed
ceasefire which established the adherence to
the full implementation of UN Security
Council Resolution 2254, providing for a UN-
facilitated political solution. According to the
colonialist plan, the tyrant Bashar, who has
waged open devastating war against the
Muslims of Syria since their Islamic uprising
began in March 2011, whose hands are soaked
in the pure blood of Muslims, is to stay on as
the ruler. We add here that the fact America
failed to establish an alternative agent to
Bashar in all this time, is credit to the
awareness of the Muslims of Syria, who reject
any change in faces and demand real change,
which is the abolition of man-made law and the
return of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the
Method of the Prophethood.
Matters have come to a head now and the
future direction of the Ummah is to be decided.
So we call upon you to resist the Raheel-Nawaz
regime and grant balanced coverage regarding
the blessed revolution of Syria. We attach to
this press release some images of the
encouraging political activities rejecting any
solution other than Islam that are being held
throughout Syria. And we further direct you to
the official website of the Central Media Office
of Hizb ut-Tahrir (www.hizb-ut-tahrir.info),
which has regular updates regarding the
struggle for the Muslims of Syria for the return
of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of
the Prophethood. Let us all perform our duty,
for in its performance lies our benefit and in its
neglect, we are the only losers.
﴾وإن تتولهوا يستبدل قوما غيركم ثمه ال يكونوا أمثالكم﴿

the obedience of Allah), He will exchange
you for some other people, and they will not
be your likes” [Muhammad: 38]
